Board Member Laura LaRocca Shares Her Kidney Story

Sending a heartfelt shoutout to our incredible board member, Laura LaRocca, for being a beacon of strength and inspiration in the fight against kidney disease! 🙌 Laura’s journey is nothing short of remarkable – she faced the challenges of kidney disease head-on, undergoing not one, but two kidney transplants. Her resilience is inspiring. The first transplant, a gift from her mother, and the second, a testament to the power of love, given by her husband Joseph. ❤️
