2024 Atlanta Kidney Walk

I am participating in this event not only because I am a transplant recipient but because the Black community faces a higher risk of Kidney Failure . This can be due to genetics, higher rates of hypertension and diabetes, and socioeconomic issues such as access to healthcare and structural racism. Sadly, almost 1 in 5 African Americans is uninsured.
Join the walk and/or contribute to support the lifechanging work of the National Kidney Foundation:
- To ensure that families will have a place to turn when they need answers.- To keep up the fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors.
- To drive innovation
Any contribution would help others in need of assistance .
