Approximately 300 people are expected to participate in the fun, inspiring, community fundraiser, which calls attention to the prevention of kidney disease and the need for organ donation.
Former Miss Delaware, Brittany Dempsey will lead the pet-friendly event. Participants can choose from a 3-mile nature trail, a 2.6- mile, pondside nature trail or a ¾ mile-trail (smoother path for strollers and wheelchairs). Following the walk, everyone can enjoy music from Moonbeam Entertainment, as well as grilled chicken, Pepsi beverages and other refreshments.
Kidney Walk event chair is Kristy Ferracci, a dialysis technician at F.M.C. Mid-Sussex in Georgetown who donated a kidney to her husband, Michael, three years ago. Honorary chair is DE House Majority Leader and State Representative Pete Schwartzkopf, who donated a kidney to save the life of a friend and neighbor.
Funds raised through Kidney Walk will directly support NKF-MD’s patient services, education and research efforts.
