We are super excited and honored to now be advertised on Milwaukee County Transit System's buses, as a symbol of kidney disease awareness, prevention and treatment. Anytime you see a MCTS bus in your neighborhood, make sure to look out for our orange kidney logo! We are proud of the work we do, not just on a local level, but on a national level as well. We would like to thank National Black K.A.R.E and Chapter of The Links for helping this come to fruition! Most importantly, we couldn't have gotten this far without our supporters and our kidney community. We appreciate you all.

A special thanks to Michael A Crowley, Carolyn Spath and USOA Mrs. Wisconsin, for attending and being apart of the bus unveiling event on Wednesday!

We recommend being conscientious about your sugar consumption, especially if you have a family history of diabetes. A lot of the foods we eat, contain hidden simple sugars, such as condiments, frozen and processed foods. If you are pre-diabetic or have diabetes already, make sure to get your kidney's checked as often as possible, in order to regulate your blood sugar.
