This original speech, “Catch Breath, Press On” is a 5-7 minute synopsis of what is like when I started Dialysis 3 weeks after my 25th Birthday, up until my Father gave me a Kidney 3.5 years later.

 

• • As a member of Toastmasters International, this speech was written for the 2019 International Speech Competition. I came in 1st place in my state South Carolina.

 

• • As a Advocate for Organ Donation I wanted to do a speech that not only was authentic to me, but also spoke to the difficulties Dialysis Warriors face and Dialysis Veterans have faced.

​

Hopefully, this speech inspired others to Organ Donation and many people to NEVER GIVE UP no matter how trying life may get💪🏾.
