Kidney Walk
The 2004 Kidney Walk
Walk the Kidney Walk Way
20 Million people have chronic kidney disease and another 20 million are at risk. The NKF’s Kidney Walk presents an occasion for dialysis patients, organ transplant recipients, donor families, living donors, the medical communities, and the general public to celebrate LIFE and support the Foundation’s mission.
The NKF’s Kidney Walks are designed to help people understand the need for early detection of kidney disease. In addition to raising funds for research and help for patients and their families, the Walk is a great way to bring the community together!
