Hi Everyone
I couldn't find any postings about the Kidney Foundation's "Be a Lifesaver Walk for Organ Donation Awareness" and I thought it might be of interest. The annual awareness/fundraising walk is being held this coming weekend (Sept. 22 & 23) in 20 cities across Ontario. Thousands of people including donor recipients, donor families, patients and their families, health professionals, and others will be walking in support of increased organ donation awareness. If you're in one of the participating cities, please consider coming out and walk or roll - bring your friends & family - bring your dog too!!
I will be walking on Sept. 23 (my first wedding anniversary!) with friends & family in memory of my husband Chris (aka Virrat) who passed away very suddenly earlier this summer. Chris received a donor kidney in 1994 that lasted for 7 years.
