The Kidney Foundation of Canada is people working together for a common cause. We are volunteers, individuals living with kidney disease, donors, and staff members — from all walks of life, all across Canada.

The primary beneficiaries are people at risk of or affected by kidney disease. The Kidney Foundation provides:

Your efforts helped us to raise over $10,500, exceeding our goal again this year. We are so grateful to everyone who walked with us and to our sponsors.

See you again next year!
