Kidney disease is a journey.
It's messy, exhausting, lonely and sometimes devastating. Worse still, it's deeply misunderstood.
1 in 10 people are living with kidney disease and 50% don't know they have it. With few early symptoms, kidney disease sneaks up on us and turns lives upside down.
We're here to change that.
Alongside kidney patients, families, volunteers, researchers and clinicians, we’re shining a light on kidney disease - unscripted and unfiltered. Through the meds and the scars, the grief and the thirst, the strength and the joy, the heartbreaks and the breakthroughs.
Wherever you are on your kidney journey, we’re by your side.

Ben and Sarah's story
"There are so many more things that come above being a dialysis patient. It’s not my world. I’m a dad, a husband, I have the business. Dialysis is just something that fits around all that. It’s not above all that."
Ben (aka Spudman) and his wife Sarah (aka Spudwife) chat, unfiltered, about their journey with kidney disease.

"I've had kidney disease my whole life"
Being the only young adult on my dialysis unit can be lonely. I have family and friends to support me, however you only really understand kidney disease when you live with it yourself.
I want to tell my story to help others understand they’re not the only ones going through this.
