Dear Friends and Family,

I hope this finds you well! In the past I've reached out to many of you to donate to the Tour DaVita, our annual cycling event to raise funds for Bridge of Life, which runs medical missions around the world. This year, rather than riding my bike, I am volunteering more directly and traveling to Guatemala with Bridge of Life, to build home dialysis rooms for children.

In partnership with local organizations in Guatemala, Bridge of Life and volunteers like myself are building and designing PD (Peritoneal Dialysis) rooms for pediatric patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ERSD).

Bridge of Life’s PD Room Project is a new initiative that aims to provide a safe space for children with ESRD to undergo home dialysis treatment near their homes. By enabling home treatment, we're not only cutting down on the time and costs associated with traveling to clinics but also opening up new opportunities for education and work. Plus, it's a significant step towards transplant possibilities for these kids.

For these grassroots projects, a little bit of money goes as long way! Please consider donating to support this initiative, and Bridge of Life's mission to strengthen healthcare across the globe! To learn more, please visit www.bridgeoflifeinternational.org/

Thank you so much, and I look forward to sharing stories and pictures from the project!

All the best,

-Peter
