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!

Since it looks like the majority of Team USA will be starting their journeys today, I just wanted to wish you all good luck, have some safe flights, and bring home the GOLD!! I can't wait to see pictures, videos and read about everyone's experience in the land Down Under. GO TEAM USA!!!!!!! :-D

Hi Mike
I notice that too. In Bangkok, Glen wore dockers and a nice shirt, but I'm packing him a suit for OZ. I think you will probably find some in just a suit jacket or blazer with tie. (Hopefully, some of the other gents will respond to your query.) See you soon! Best regards, Tracy
GO TEAM USA!!

I am looking for anyone who might be able to answer this question. In the wtg circular that came out on Wednesday, they talk about ladies wearing an evening dress and gents wearing a jacket and tie. Do we bring a suit jacket or a blazer, or a whole suit? I have a suit, now just trying to figure out if I need to pack it.

thanks,
Mike, GO TEAM USA!!

I was told we need to have a swim party... pondering this. My coach was telling me the kids have "shave parties" before... not sure I am on board with that one :P

Thanks Stephanie for the well wishes for our trip. We will PRAY for you here back home for a safe procedure. I'm sure that there will be tons of pics on here after we get back. We will definitly show the world what TEAM USA is ALL about and of course let our fellow recipients along with others the TRUE meaning of organ donation. Continue to get well and and stay healthy and I will keep you in my thoughts and PRAYERS!!
