The Forever is Tomorrow Foundation will bring hope
to those fighting kidney disease while raising
awareness and providing education about their
struggle to the public.
or FOUNDER’S BACKSTORY
www.colonyurbanfarm.com Scott Burton was born May 28th, 1982 with a
posterior urethral valve blockage that damaged his
kidneys. In his words, “My parents were told I
wouldn’t survive two days but I did. They told my
parents my kidneys would fail within two years and
they were wrong.” Scott’s early life was a rollercoaster,
growing up in and out of the hospital, countless
surgeries, monthly checkups and monitoring, waiting
for inevitable kidney failure. A couple months before
his 12th birthday, they failed and Scott was put on
dialysis and the waiting list for a kidney transplant. At
that time, the average wait time for a pediatric patient
was two years. This forced him to juggle the stress of
being a teenager with infections, hospitalizations, and
an awareness of mortality at an early age. Scott has
said that he “came to realize just how precious a
moment is and how quickly life can turn upside
down.”

I have spent my whole life fighting, rising up when the
odds were against me, and taking it as a challenge
whenever anyone told me I couldn’t do something. I
have always found beauty in the small things and felt
that life is more about what you leave behind than
what you have while you’re here. I’ve always believed
that we are all struggling in our own ways, but at any
given moment, an opportunity or idea would present
itself to make everything suddenly make sense. I’ve
always hoped somehow; I would be able to find a way
to impact the world or at least one person in a positive
way. The Forever is Tomorrow Foundation is the
culmination of everything I’ve been through, observed
and learned, it is fueled by my desire to help others. I
want to take a lifetime of struggle with pain and
uncertainty and turn it into something positive.
Whether I live a day or another thirty years, this is my
way of putting something together that can continue to
help, inspire and maybe even bring about much
needed change in the lives of those inflicted with
kidney disease. I hope you will consider supporting the
Forever is Tomorrow Foundation and joining us as we
set out on this journey.
Scott Burton is available for questions, comments or
interviews to discuss his own story, the foundation,
kidney disease, dialysis & transplantation and the goals
for the future of The Forever is Tomorrow Foundation.
