Kidney disease is no joke. Each day 15 Canadians learn that their kidneys have failed. This diagnosis means a lifetime of treatment regimen which may include dialysis or a kidney transplant. There is no cure and treatment can take a great physical and psychological toll on both patients and their loved ones. We want to change that.
On Thursday, May 30th, 2019, we will host the 7th Annual Stand Up for the Cure event at Yuk Yuk’s in London’s Western Fair District. This hilarious and entertaining evening for adults will feature stand-up comedians from across Canada.
For the last six years, The Kidney Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Society of Nephrology have joined forces in London to raise awareness and funds to support kidney research and local programs that help ease the burden of kidney disease.
