A Tower of Hope
At just 12 years old, Dashel Prywes has achieved something monumental—both literally and figuratively. In an inspiring display of determination, Dashel set a new Guinness World Record for the tallest magnetic tile tower, reaching an incredible 50 feet 8 inches tall! But for Dashel, this wasn’t just about breaking records—it was about raising awareness for a cause close to his heart: chronic childhood kidney disease.
Dashel suffers from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), as he calls it “the unlucky lottery,” and has spent much of his life facing the many challenges that come with the condition. However, instead of letting his condition define him, he’s used it as motivation to make a difference for others. By embarking on this world-record attempt, Dashel aimed to draw attention to the realities of kidney disease in children, hoping to inspire others to join the fight for better treatment and support for those affected.
