Happy New Year! RSN is off and running with all the preparations for the 15th Annual Renal Teen prom to be held on January 19th. So many people are working to make this night memorable for all attendees. When I was on peritoneal dialysis during my teenage years, I never dreamed I would be hosting an annual prom. The teenage years can be challenging and having a prom of my peers would have made me feel connected. Adversity introduces you to yourself and I used use that experience to help others.

Now, I am closer to 50 than 40. I have been married for 16 years and my husband Dean will be attending the Prom with me. It's never too late to be a Prom Queen.
