Thank you for your support!
Our heartfelt thanks to all of the wonderful participants, volunteers and donors for making the 2014 walk season a memorable one. Through your outstanding efforts, we are pleased to report that $700,000 was raised to support research, programs and services that will benefit families touched by kidney disease.
The Kidney Walks continue to be a great place to connect and join together as a Kidney Community - and this year we had a lot to celebrate - 50 years of The Kidney Foundation of Canada. From birthday cake to balloons, breakfast and BBQs we had a great time celebrating with you and your family.
Congratulations to our Kidney Walk Champions, those who raised over $1000. Click here to see the list of outstanding fundraisers.

Kidney Connect: Empowering kidney patients through peer support
Connecting with someone who has a shared experience can be one of the best ways to reduce stress, gather information and validate one's feelings. Sometimes hearing from a peer that they managed the lifestyle changes often required after diagnosis or a change in treatment modality can be just the reassuring voice needed during a stressful time.
