Audrey Parisloff, of the local chapter of the Kidney Foundation presents a cheque for $1,100 for use in the local dialysis program.
Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation, accepted the donation from Mrs. Parisloff, and expressed appreciation for the continuing support the local Kidney Foundation walk provides the dialysis program.
Mrs. Parisloff is the key organizer of the walk which started last year in Yorkton. “Kidney disease/Alport Syndrome has been a part of my life for many years as I have an uncle, two brothers a nephew and a grandson all affected with the disease,” she explained.
“I became involved in organizing the “Give the Gift of Life” fun run/walk to help raise awareness for organ donations and to help raise money for the kidney foundation, as well as our local dialysis program. I would like to encourage everyone to sign your donor card and explain your wishes to your family,” she continued.
“My family knows that signing your donor card works. On September 24, 2011 my grandson received his kidney transplant and is now enjoying his life to the fullest. If we all sign our donor cards then many other people will have the same opportunity for life,” said Mrs. Parisloff.Submitted Photo
