Take Steps To Help Us Fight Kidney Disease!
Over 26 million Americans, or 1 in 9 adults, suffer from chronic kidney disease. Another 20 million are at increased risk and most don't even know it. Over 7,400 Tennesseans are in kidney failure and need a kidney transplant or dialysis three times per week to survive. You can make a difference in the fight against kidney disease by participating in the Gift of Life Walk in your community.
