March is Kidney Month, marking one year since we launched Kidney4Krista.com to share my journey and raise awareness about PKD, CKD, and the urgent need for living kidney donors in Canada. With my kidney function now at 17%, I need a living donor for the best chance at a healthier future. The wait for a deceased donor can be years, but living donors save lives—mine included. I’m incredibly grateful for those who have supported me, but I’m still searching for the right match. You can help by sharing my story—just one person can make all the difference. If you’ve ever considered living donation, please don’t assume you’re ineligible—just call 1-519-663-3552 and ask.

I apologize that it has been a few months since my last update. The Fall brought a lot of activity and appointments, so finding time to sit down and write has been challenging.

But that also means there is a lot to share!

I can’t believe it’s August! It feels like this summer (and year) is flying by! I have several updates for you since my last blog post, so I’ll waste no time and get right to them!  But before I do, I want to once again express my gratitude for you being here and reading this!

It’s been a few months since we launched this website, and many of you have asked for an update on how I’m doing… so here’s an update for July. Moving forward, I’ll try to post monthly updates here so you can easily follow my progress.
