Successful Walk-a-Thon for NFT Patient!

Roy Glazer suffers from Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, a rare and incurable kidney disease. Doctors have told him a kidney transplant is his only hope for a second chance at life.

Thankfully, Roy's wife, Ellyn, is a match and is eager to donate one of her own kidneys to save her husband's life. However, before Roy can be listed for a transplant, he must raise significant funds.

Last month, volunteers held a 3-mile Walk-a-Thon in Roy's honor. Despite some rainy weather, the attendance was exceptional and more than $19,000 was raised in Roy's honor! We'll have more updates soon!
