www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Friday, August 16, 2013 | 14 Kidney Foundation walk Sept. 21 People can be part of a province-wide, grassroots effort to create a future without kidney failure. More than 40 communities across Ontario will take part in the Kidney Foundation of Canada's annual Kidney Walk on Saturday, Sept. 21. In Halton, the walk will take place at Bronte Creek Provincial Park in Oakville. The Kidney Foundation works to improve the lives of all people affected by kidney disease through research, government advocacy, peer support, education and programs. According to the organization, one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease and millions more are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontario residents depend on life-sustaining dialysis treatments several times per week. More than 1,000 people in the province are waiting for a kidney transplant and many others live with reduced kidney function that may have gone undetected. The event will have participants who are walking approximately 5k for a variety of reasons. There will be dialysis patients, transplant recipients, donor families, living donors, renal professionals and other supporters all in an effort to raise awareness about kidney health and organ donation. The Halton walk will start at the Green Shelter. People can enter the park through the Day Use Entrance on Burloak Drive. Registration is at 10 a.m. and the walk starts at 11 a.m. For more information, visit www.kidneywalk.ca.
