The National Kidney Foundation of Colorado, Montana and Wyoming hosted the Inaugural Billings Kidney Walk on September 13 at Pioneer Park.

Attended by 115 and raising $23,000, the non-competitive walk raised funds and awareness of early prevention of kidney and urinary tract diseases and the need for organ donation.

“We are very excited about our partnership with all of the people in Billings who worked so hard to make the Billings Kidney Walk a huge success,” said Judy Norman, Executive Director of the National Kidney Foundation of Colorado, Montana and Wyoming. “The Billings Committee has expressed interest in working with us on the 2010 Kidney Walk, so we plan to get even more people involved next year. Thank you, Billings, for your participation and support.”

The money raised will help support the various patient and community assistance programs, as well as kidney health screenings in Montana. Additional donations can be still made at www.kidneywalk.org.
