The Global Renal Exercise Group (GREX) is looking for people with kidney disease and/or their caregivers to take 3 online surveys. Your answers will guide future research into exercise for people with kidney disease. Surveys will be sent 4-6 weeks apart and will take 10-15 minutes to fill in. There are no right or wrong answers. The Kidney Foundation is proud to support this research.
If you are interested contact Dr. Stephanie Thompson at exercckd@ualberta.ca by April 26, 2019

10-time Kidney Marcher Jan Clemis shares her gratitude for Logan Boulet and all organ donors. We are thankful for Jan, and hundreds of volunteers who give hours of their time to support organ donation and the kidney cause. Toby Boulet Mike Brodie #LoganBouletEffect #organdonation
Jan Clemis grateful for life after kidney transplant

Jan Clemis has a new lease on life after a kidney transplant from her son, Blair Clemis. That’s why she wants to raise awareness about the importance of being an organ donor.April is Organ Donation Month, and the Calgary Police were out there raising awareness about the need to increase #OrganDonation rates in Canada.
Drivers who had an organ donor symbol on their licences were given a second chance, because as a registered organ donor they are willing to give someone else a second chance to live.
Register and most importantly talk to your family about your wishes. www.kidney.ca/organ-donor-registries

April is Organ Donation Month
Are you a registered organ donor?
The stats are startling:
• About 4,500 men, women and children are currently waiting for an organ transplant in Canada;
• Every year, 260 of those people will die before receiving a transplant. That means five deaths per week could have been saved with viable donors;
• One organ donor can save up to eight lives and a tissue donor can benefit up to 75 individuals.
We’re proud to support the Canadian Transplant Association (www.canadiantransplant.com/) by helping to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation by participating in the Second Chances campaign.
