Cindi Russell's Personal Fundraising Page

I'm raising money for Kidney Donor Athletes, Inc.!

It’s never too late to change a life! I donated my kidney on 9/11/25, and it’s been one of the most powerful decisions I’ve ever made. While going through the process of living donation, I came across the Kidney Donor Athletes website. The athletes' stories inspired me to become part of the KDA community so that I could help prove that living organ donors can accomplish any physical challenge that could be achieved by a person with two kidneys.

As part of the KDA team, I'm fundraising and training for the New York City Marathon on November 1st, 2026!  That’s why I’m asking for your support to raise funds for Kidney Donor Athletes, an organization that empowers living donors like me to stay active, share their stories, and inspire others to consider giving the gift of life.

Your donation will help support donor athletes like me, encourage future donors, and ultimately change more lives. Join me in making a difference. Every contribution, big or small, helps fuel this mission and inspires the next generation of donors.

Here's how you can help:

  • Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
  • Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
