The 501st Redback Garrison are seeking assistance to raise awareness and much needed funds for this year's Research Walk in support of Kidney Health Australia. It’s a cause close to many of our members hearts.

Each year more Australians die with kidney related disease than breast cancer, prostate cancer and even road deaths. Sadly, 1 in 3 Australians is at increased risk of kidney disease and an estimated 1.7 million Australians over the age of 25 already have at least one clinical sign of existing kidney disease. It's a very important health issue.

As we start to count down to the Research Walk, we invite you to cheer us on and to dig deep to help reach our fundraising goal.

Specifically, funds from this event are devoted to key research priorities, which will continue to drive health policy and advance programs that change and save the lives of those impacted by kidney disease.

Every dollar counts so please help us make a difference with a secure online donation, big or small – just click on the ‘Donate’ button on the side. You will automatically receive a tax-deductible receipt via email.

Kidney Health Australia receives 100% of all donations.

Thank you for supporting our efforts in the 2016 Research Walk! For the empire!
