All Things Kidney

Happy Friday Kidney Warriors! Each Friday I will be posting about "All Things Kidney" which will include events for The Northeast Kidney Foundation and current events in the kidney world. Some of the upcoming events for Northeast Kidney include the Fall 2013 Walk/5K  for Kidneys. These walks/5K's are a wonderful way to help support your local kidney community. All donations are used to support all those waiting for lifesaving kidney transplants or living with chronic kidney disease in the local areas that the walks/5K runs are held. These fun filled family days are a admirable way to come out and show your support. 

The events will be held in the following locations: 

Ithaca Walk/5K for Kidneys will be held Saturday September 28, 2013 at Cass Park.

Oneonta/Cooperstown Walk for Kidneys will be held Sunday November 10, 2013 at The Clark Sports Center. 

Walk over the Hudson for Kidneys will be held Sunday October 27, 2013 at The Hudson State Park in Poughkeepsie.

Please contact Northeast Kidney for information on how to register and setup your walk team today. You can also find great tips on fundraising ideas. Please contact them at www.healthykidneys.org or email them at info@healthykidneys.org .

This year I participated in their 10th Annual Kidney Walk in Albany. It was so touching to see all the supporters who came out to walk and raise awareness.

These Walk/5K events allow patients, families, caregivers, and kidney professionals to come together to raise both awareness and funds to help find a cure for chronic kidney disease. I hope you will register and form a kidney walk team of your own.

So I hope you will return each Friday to see "All Things Kidney" and keep following me on this journey with chronic kidney disease. Next Friday we will be chatting about The Kidney Project and the Catwalk for Kidney's another Northeast Kidney event. 

Thank you again for joining me this week and as always I look forward to your questions, comments and concerns. 

Keep on fighting, you Kidney Warriors!
