Northside Rotary Kidney Walkathon

Please check back for information on the upcoming
2010 Kidney Walkathon held each fall.

Our Northside Rotary Kidney Walkathon on October 3, 2009 at
Gulley Park in Fayetteville, AR was a huge success!

Thanks to our many sponsors, we raised over $30,000!

The Northside Rotary Kidney Walkathon is a non-competitive event focusing on educating the public about kidney disease and organ donation. With 50% of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Kidney Program. Additionally, funds will be used to continue programs of public education, research, kidney camp for kids, and grants for children and adults battling kidney disease in Northwest Arkansas and throughout the state.

A Thank You Note From a Grateful Mom...

Thank you so very much for helping me with my telephone bill. It seems so simple and inadequate to say just “Thank you."

Your generosity in my time of need was so timely. I was devastated – my best efforts had accomplished nothing. I was feeling totally helpless because I depend on the phone service for David’s care. I felt so uneasy – what if something went wrong. It was a lonely place. Your generosity gave me back my calm and peace so I can concentrate on David and his care.

You earned your angel wings. The world needs more people like you. You will be in my prayers. From the bottom of my heart and my soul – Thank you! and God bless all of you and your endeavors.

Sincerely,
Linda
