"I am excited because the Green Ribbon Campaign will shine the light on kidney disease and how many people are affected by it.

I experienced it first hand and had the blessing of having Dr Rastogi!

He is exceptional and I am very grateful that he gave me hope."

"My story is actually pretty simple. I always said if my dad ever needs a kidney I'd give him one. It only took two and a half years to do it. He had been on dialysis for that time and thinking he would be okay doing this I was wrong. I was slowly watching him deteriorate and it was on my mind daily. So in December last year my wife and I started to seriously talk about it and over a few months of discussion we decided to start researching the process."

"Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) runs in my father’s side of the family. His mother died in her 40’s from it, and he was on dialysis because of it during my elementary and middle school years. I myself was diagnosed with ADPKD at the age of 10 via ultrasound, and ever since then, I have been fascinated, intrigued, and admittedly slightly troubled by kidney health and kidney disease research."
