Welcome to my Team Kidney fundraiser
Samantha Popchock
Keeping It Renal
Why I Fundraise
In 2014 my dad lost his battle with CKD at the age of 46.
In 2018 I was diagnosed with FSGS.
In 2025, I walk so that future generations have a different story.
Right now, 37 million American adults are living with kidney disease, and I’m not okay with that. I move because 1 in 3 people are at risk for kidney disease. I move because more than 1 in 7 people have it but aren’t aware.
I move to raise funds that support the National Kidney Foundation, who was the first to identify kidney disease as a distinct, treatable illness. They developed the staged system of kidney disease diagnosis and treatment – a worldwide standard today – and release and update treatment guidelines to improve patient care.
Join me in making these advances possible by donating to my efforts!
Thank you for your support!
