About Tori's One Kidney Climb with KDA
As many of you may know, myself and our dear friend Catherine were at the center of a pretty amazing work of God back in 2023. Catherine needed a new kidney due to advanced kidney failure, and I was the first person to test for a match. By some miracle, or work of God, I was a complete match, and we proceeded with the surgery! Since then, both of us are absolutely thriving, and the Kidney Donors group has been a huge community for me post donation! Here's a photo of us 1 week pre surgery & 1 month post surgery:
Each year the KDA (Kidney Donor Athletes) group hosts a "one kidney climb" with a limited amount of openings, and USUALLY it's not within the USA. Past trips have been to destinations Kilimanjaro and even Guatemala! For the first year they're hosting the climb, limited to 15 donors, at the GRAND CANYON!
I have the absolute privilege of being selected for this climb in October! We will be hiking from the South Rim to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon in ONE DAY (21+ Miles).
I could not be more humbled and honored to be chosen among some other amazing donors to complete this challenge, and am fundraising to support the Kidney Donor Athlete's organization & the trip!
If you're unable to donate monetarily, please consider praying over and for this trip! I have been actively pursuing God's purpose through this donation to spread His goodness and make Him known - I am praying for the opportunities to do that through this opportunity.
