Statistically, one in every ten Camrose and area residents have, or will battle through some form of kidney disease. With no cure for chronic kidney disease, many patients require a transplant for survival. Living organ donation, living with kidney disease and transplant surgery/recuperation can be a huge financial burden for all involved. The Kidney Foundation of Canada often provides financial assistance. Area residents support the Foundation’s fundraising and awareness efforts fall Mirror Lake Kidney Walk annually. A broader audience event with the same goal takes place each year at the Italian Cultural Centre in Edmonton.
The 2023 Kidney Gala, a Celebrity Men’s Fashion Show, on Saturday, March 18 will feature a Camrose volunteer. Christopher Innes, store manager at Save On Foods, will be walking the runway as a way to show his support for a cause that will inevitably help out local patients down the road. See the full story on page 8.
