The first three 5K Family Fun Walks raised over $100,000. All contributions were placed in The National Kidney Foundation Research Endowment and will only be tapped to support research relating to IGA Nephropathy. Applications are accepted and reviewed by the Board of Research and Development on a bi-annual basis and then assigned to begin the research process. Although we have a long way to go, we have moved forward quickly an we have our supporters to thank.
