Meet our Ambassador, Michala Banas
We’re excited to introduce our Kidney Health Australia Ambassador for the Red Socks Appeal, Michala Banas.
At the age of 6, Michala had most of her left kidney removed in a life-saving operation. She was born with a duplicated ureter (the tube from the kidney to the bladder), that wasn’t discovered until her body had nearly poisoned itself to death.
“Kidney health is something I absolutely don’t take for granted,” said Michala.
Michala is keen to shine a light on kidney disease and is urging Australians to support the Red Socks Appeal in October.

What do Red Socks have to do with kidney disease?
People on dialysis are strapped to a machine for 60 hours a month on average while it cleans their blood. While having dialysis treatment they often get cold, especially their feet. This is why we’re asking you to go bold this October and wear Red Socks to show people living with kidney disease that you care.
