AUDREY BELLA LANGSTON

I was devastated by this news As a new police officer and single mom of two, I thought my life and career were over. After discharge, I returned to the hospital for frequent follow-up visits with my new nephrologist. However, instead of wallowing in self-pity, I decided to educate myself on my illness. I joined forces with the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois and eventually became one of their main public speakers.I also dedicated my time to The Gift of Hope and became a member of Illinois Secretary of State’s, Jesse White’s, task force team called Life Goes On.
