9AM Event Begins
This year, the Sheppard's, our family and friends will join others across the country to fight against kidney disease. On October 06, 2024 our loved ones will walk on our behalf as we cope with this devastating chronic illness each day – and for those who lost their fight too soon.
Together, all who walk will support the life-changing work of the National Kidney Foundation:
- To ensure that families will have a place to turn when they need hope and help as they navigate kidney disease.
- To keep up the fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors.
- To drive innovation in transplantation and get more loved ones off the kidney transplant waitlist.
- To increase awareness about the prevalence of kidney disease, specifically in the BIPOC community.
- To identify potential living kidney donors for us as we fight renal failure!
Will you join us?
