National Foundation for Transplants
Information
NFT is a nonprofit organization that establishes fundraising campaigns in patient communities. We help patients' volunteers raise funds for transplant candidates and recipients so they can focus on their health rather than worry about expenses.

Did you have to do any fundraising pre or post-transplant? If so, how did you do it?

Too many people ignore the close inter-relation between kidney diseases and diabetes or hypertension. Worldwide, 246 million people suffer from diabetes and the figure is expected to reach 380 million by 2025. Diabetic nephropathy affects a third of people suffering from diabetes. Sadly, less than half people diagnosed with diabetes undergo a screening test.
Next Word Kidney Day will be held on Thursday 11 March 2010 and will focus on Diabetes, the leading cause of kidney failure.
World Kidney Day offers a crucial, visible opportunity to inform and educate health policy-makers, people who are at highest risk of CKD, and the general public that kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable.
Join our World Kidney Day 2010 group and come to exchange your experience and ideas that could be proposed to World Kidney Day organisers over the world.
The success of World Kidney Day across the world is only possible because of each of you!
