What a weekend! You made the 7th annual Kidney March unforgettable.

Thank you truly for growing this awesome community, supporting each other, and telling the story of kidney disease along the highways west of Calgary, and in every corner of social media!

Your work in the weeks and months leading up to Kidney March, and your dedication during our three days and 100 k’s has literally put kidney disease on the map.

Together, we raised more than $730,000 for lifesaving research, prevention programs, patient supports, and organ donation initiatives. In the past seven years, Kidney March has raised nearly five million dollars!

As Mayor Nenshi said during Closing Ceremonies you are THE definition of citizenship. Take a moment and be proud of your generosity.

We are savouring Kidney March 2016 every day on social media. Check out Facebook, Twitter & Instagram for photos and videos.
