Give the Gift of Life Walk 2011

Give the Gift of Life Walk 2011 in Ontario Canada at Colasanti’s Tropical Gardens


I'm participating in The Kidney Foundation of Canada's
Give the Gift of Life Walk Ontario 2011

Why do I walk?


I am walking for my kidney donor and for awareness and improvements in dialysis as well as walking for the friends I have lost to kidney disease these last few years.



Donate / Sponsor me for the Give the Gift of Life Walk!

Please support my campaign to help Canadians living with kidney disease by donating today! Your contribution will benefit The Kidney Foundation of Canada, the national volunteer organization committed to reducing the burden of kidney disease.

An estimated 2 million Canadians have kidney disease or are at risk while each day an average of 14 Canadians learn that their kidneys have failed.

    Did you know?:…
  • 1.5 million Ontarians have or are at risk of developing kidney disease.
  • 1,105 Ontarians are waiting for a kidney transplant.
  • 10,000 Ontarians are receiving dialysis treatments for chronic kidney failure.
  • 7,000 Ontario residents are living with a kidney transplant.
  • Last year, on average each walker raised $230 - helping us collectively raise over $400,000 province-wide.

Secure online donations can be made with VISA, MasterCard and American Express. An electronic tax receipt will be sent to you by email within minutes of making your pledge.

Since its creation in 1964, The Kidney Foundation has helped millions of Canadians suffering from kidney failure and related disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, urinary tract infections and kidney stones.

Today, the Foundation continues its focus on strategies to improve the organ donor rate in Canada. It is also exploring preventive approaches to detect chronic renal insufficiency at an early stage, delay its progression and prevent complications associated with the disease.
