All funds raised during the Share Your Spare 5k will be split evenly between National Kidney Donation Organization and Kidney Donor Athletes, and will be used to help both organizations achieve their missions.
With over 90,000 Americans waiting for a lifesaving kidney donation, a transplant from a living donor can be the difference between life and death, offering a chance at a longer, healthier life for the recipient. Living kidney donation is a low-risk procedure, and donors can accomplish any physical challenge that a person with two kidneys could achieve.
The National Kidney Donation Organization, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, works to support living kidney donors and those who wish to learn more about the living donation process through mentoring, education, community building, and advocacy initiatives.
The mission of Kidney Donor Athletes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is to promote the gift of life through living kidney donation among active individuals and athletes by building a community that inspires, supports, and educates people about the experience of kidney donation.
