My son Charles Harvey will be turning 10 this year on the 21st of march. His birthday wish is to raise money for the National Kidney foundation. He was born with a multisystic kidney. That means he only has one working functional kidney. He gets checked up yearly to make sure that the affected kidney is going in the right direction, and the other kidney is doing its job in taking the place of the other kidney. So far so good! Support Charlie in helping people get screenings for early detection/prevention of kidney issues, which can prevent further complications throughout their lifetime.

I’ve joined Team Kidney to raise funds to support the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the work they do to help people at risk for kidney disease, those living with chronic kidney disease, and those who care for and about them.

Did you know that 1 in 3 American adults are at risk for kidney disease? Major risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney failure and being age 60 or older. Kidney disease often has no symptoms, and it can go undetected until very advanced. But a simple test can tell you if you have kidney disease.

The funds we raise enable NKF to provide early detection screenings and vital patient and community services to our local community. Your gift will make a difference in the lives of the nearly 30 million Americans who are currently living with kidney disease and the 73 million more at risk. It’s great to have you on the team.

Thank you!
