We’re grateful to see kidney health and awareness highlighted in our community!

Our 2026 Huntsville Kidney Walk leadership was recently featured in an interview where Johelene and Jeff shared why this cause matters and how our community can come together to support those living with kidney disease.

Kidney disease impacts millions of Americans, and events like the Huntsville Kidney Walk help fund education, support services, and resources for patients and families right here in our community.

Thank you to the Day to Day team for helping us spread the word.
