Kidney Foundation 5K Walk/run

Kidney Foundation Hosts 5K Walk/Run

One in nine Americans has chronic kidney disease (CKD) and another one in nine is at risk and doesn’t even know it. People with diabetes and hypertension are at even greater risk for this condition.

Join the Kidney Foundation of Greater Cincinnati (KFGC) as we walk to raise awareness about the dangers of kidney disease and work to assist kidney patients in the Greater Cincinnati area. KFGC is a local organization serving 15 counties in the Tri-State Area and is not affiliated with a national entity.

All proceeds go to benefit two programs at the Kidney Foundation of Greater Cincinnati
Patient Services – provides life-saving medications to local kidney patients
Education – helps educate the public about the dangers of kidney disease and
how to prevent it
