Over 20 million Americans, or 1 in 9 adults, suffer from chronic kidney disease. Another 20 million are at increased risk and most don’t even know it. Join us in the fight against kidney disease by participating in the Kidney Walk in your community.
We are actively seeking people to become team captains to recruit others to participate in the Kidney Walk. A Kick Off Party for team captains will be held in each community prior to the Walk. A packet of fundraising ideas will be available for the team captains along with brochures, posters and money collection envelopes for each walker on the team. .
