Kidney Walk 2007 - A Success!

This past Saturday was the NKF National Capital Region's Kidney Walk. We had a great time and it felt good that we could contribute to an event that is so very important to so many. The NKF kicked off the walk with a mini rally, introducing their sponsors and sharing kidney organ donation success stories. After hearing these inspirational stories we embarked on our 5K walk along Georgetown's C&O Canal. Enjoying each other's company and the beautiful fall weather, the time flew by and we crossed the finish line at 10:30AM.

The NoVA Alumnae chapter raised over $390 for the NKF this year. The chapter would like to thank our individual donors: Molly Harrison, Michelle Calderone, Amy Meininger, Dotti Shields, Gretchen Ehle, Katie Vlieststra, Kim Hildred and Michele Dominiak. We also would like to thank the Beta Upsilon (American University) and Beta Alpha (University of Maryland) Chapters for participating and raising money for this important cause. Diokete Hupsala!

NOVA Chapter,

It looks like you had a wonderful time at your Kidney Walk! Thanks to Michele for sharing the link to your site with me.

We are in the process of re-establishing the Queen City (greater Cincinnati/northern Kentucky) Alumnae Chapter and are always looking for fun ideas! Feel free to check our site out at: http://phisigqueencity.blogspot.com.
