About Me

Recipients, donor, dialysis patients, and those living with kidney disease email [email protected] to join the slide show!


The National Kidney Foundation provides hope for thousands of kidney patients in the St. Louis area. Kidney disease affects 1 in 9 individuals living in the St. Louis area and another 1 in 9 are at risk. The donations raised at our fundraisers will support emergency financial assistance, research, organ donation awareness, and Keep Screening. (KEEP) Kidney Early Evaluation Program is a FREE health screening program designed to help identify individuals who are at risk of developing kidney failure, and inform them of that risk. Appropriate medical attention may delay or prevent the on-set or progression of kidney disease. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The National Kidney Foundation teamed up with the Riverfront Times to host Cocktails for a Cause at Frazers. From 6-8pm individuals paid $10 and enjoyed complimentary cocktails while supporting the National Kidney Foundation. This event brought in $2,070! Thank you for your support.
