Title: 10k Nephcure run - your help is required.
Post by: Eric Day on October 18, 2010, 05:26:01 pm
Dear FRB's,

In April-2010 I was diagnosed with FSGS, a kidney disease that can be deadly if not controlled. The problem is that cause is not known and the treatments that do exist are not very effective and have tons of side effects. Prognosis is not good and things like dialysis and kidney transplant is very real. My current physical condition is very good and my kidneys are fine so far.
Nephcure Foundation (www.nephcure.org) is looking for the cause & cure of this ugly disease.
Next Nov 14th, I will be running/jogging a local (Guadalajara-Mexico) 10k race (Sport City's 10k) trying to raise money for this foundation.
I ask for your support through donations, and/or, through moral support running the race with me.

Please feel free to make a donation (www.firstgiving.com/ericday) (its in USD) . Remember, these donations are received by Nephcure directly. I get to say THANK YOU in the name of Nephcure & all of us who have this disease.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

Still have questions? Please drop me a note, I'll be glad to answer.
PS. Thanks Sasha for letting me post this.
