http://walk.kidney.org/site/TR/Walk/General?px=1145741&pg=personal&fr_id=1230I have attached my fund raising page again. I know that all of us on dialysis don't usually have any spare cash, but if you some how you do have a couple extra bucks and would like to donate to the National Kidney Foundation go to my personal page ( I am walking in the Wisconsin NKF Walk) and help me reach my goal. A few of you have already contributed and I am so very appreciative. Boxman
