The Kidney Foundation of Canada is urging Ontarians to lace up their sneakers and help move research forward for Canadians living with kidney disease.
Sudbury will host a Kidney Walk on Sept. 11 at Delki Dozzi Memorial Park. Registration is a 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m.
The annual Kidney Walk event brings thousands of participants out across the country in support of people living with kidney disease and their families.
Nearly 10,000 Ontarians depend on life-sustaining dialysis treatments several times a week, over 1,000 are waiting for a kidney transplant, and countless others live with reduced kidney function that may have gone undetected. Across the country, millions are at risk of developing kidney disease.
Forty communities across Ontario will hold walks this fall in support of the 1 in 10 Canadians with kidney disease and The Kidney Foundation of Canada.
Every step you take on your Kidney Walk journey will provide hope for those living with kidney disease when they need it most.
