Mark your calendars, March is National Kidney Month -- a tribute to the 37 million lives affected by CKD and an important time to raise awareness for this silent killer. When it comes to saving lives, every voice and every action makes a difference. Will you join us?

 

3 ways to celebrate:

 

  1. Bring urgency to kidney health on social media. Share our message by signing up for the 2018 World Kidney Day Thunderclap via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or all three, and get the word out to your friends and followers to do the same. On March 8th, watch as everyone's messages are blasted out simultaneously at 12PM!
  2. Change your profile photo. Show your kidney pride on your social media profile. Use the National Kidney Foundation Heart Your Kidneys profile frame on Facebook to demonstrate your commitment to kidney health all month long – beginning March 1st.
  3. Watch and share a PSA featuring Angelica Hale, our first-ever NKF Kid-Ambassador. Knowledge is power; let others know how to protect their kidney health with this star-studded video.
