Kelli Strother

Living Donor, Paired Exchange, caregiver, Board Chair

Kelli Strother became involved with NKF when her father was on dialysis. Inspired by living donors she met through NKF events, she became a paired-exchange living donor for her dad. She credits NKF for providing the education, resources, and support her family needed to navigate the donation process. Now, as Board Chair for NKF Colorado & New Mexico, she advocates for kidney patients, helps pass life-changing legislation, and mentors others. In 2024, she received The Arthur P. Pasquerella Leadership in Action Award for her dedication.
