The Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Give the Gift of Life Walk is a non-competitive pledge-based walk focused on raising awareness about kidney health and organ donation.
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, locally based event set to unite 22 communities all across Ontario in September 2009.
Each participant is asked to commit to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges. Aim high! Did you know that the average walker raises over $200? Your fundraising efforts will be rewarded – receive a t-shirt, loot bag and complimentary refreshments.
Funds raised from the walks allow the Foundation to support stimulating innovative research; provide education and support; promote access to high quality healthcare; and increase public awareness about kidney health and organ donation. Together we can make a real difference in the lives of kidney patients and those at risk of developing kidney disease.
