Events • Posted by Stacey Scott on July 21, 2010 

Join us on Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 10 a.m. in Andrew Hayden Park for The Kidney Foundation of Canada's Give the Gift of Life Walk. This is a non-competitive pledge-based event focused on raising awareness about kidney health and organ donation.

Each year, thousands of Canadians are touched by kidney disease. It not only impacts the individuals living with the disease, but their families, friends and loved ones as well. The Kidney Foundation is working to help improve the lives for all people affected by kidney disease. With your support, the generosity of donors and corporate partners, we are supporting leading kidney-related research in the country.

The walk presents an occasion for dialysis patients, organ transplant recipients, donor families, living donors, the medical and business communities and the general public to celebrate advances in kidney health and organ donation. The walk is an extraordinary grass roots, community based event set to unite more than 27 communities across Ontario this fall.

Date: Sunday, September 12

Time: Registration is at 10 a.m., Walk time is at 11 a.m.
