Kidney March

Kidney disease is a leading cause of death in Canada. It is called the silent killer for a reason - by the time you know you have it; it’s often too late. This summer, The Kidney Foundation is making noise with the event of the year – Kidney March. A Calgary-born initiative (to raise awareness and funds), it is the only walk like it in Canada.

From September 7th - 9th, hundreds of people will join together -walking from Kananaskis to Calgary. As a kidney crisis looms, this event asks participants to do the most they have ever done for kidney disease. The time is now. Daily, 1 in 16 Canadians learn their kidneys have failed. And the number of people at risk of kidney disease is expected to double nationally in the next 10 years.

With over 200 participants already registered, Kidney March is looking for another 100 people to join them and ensure the event’s success.
