Albertans can also help by spreading the news because the more who play, the bigger the pot and impact will be for those who need it most. Officials say 100 per cent of the proceeds benefit The Kidney Foundation of Canada. The money raised is expected to help fund world-class Canadian researchers searching for a cure and programs and services supporting fellow Albertans living with kidney disease.

Each day, according to the Kidney Foundation, 15 Canadians learn their kidneys have failed, and they will need either dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. Officials say there is no cure for kidney disease, as both dialysis and transplants are a form of life support. 78 per cent of all Canadians waiting for an organ transplant are waiting for a kidney, officials point out. Kidney disease is often referred to as a ‘silent killer’ because there can be few if any noticeable symptoms before significant damage has already occurred, say Foundation officials, noting that many people aren’t even aware they have kidney disease until life-saving treatment is necessary.

“That’s why it’s so important to raise funds and promote awareness and education in our community to actively prevent kidney disease for those most at risk. Kidney disease is not only devastating physically and emotionally; it also comes with a huge financial burden,” reads a statement from The Kidney Foundation. “Before the pandemic, requests for assistance were already greater than the funds available. The Kidney Foundation knows the need will only increase in the coming months.”

“Where we really need these funds going immediately is to help people who are in urgent need of last resort financial assistance, for example, people who may need help with the cost of travel to dialysis appointments or the cost of travel to Calgary for a life-saving transplant,” says Van Deurzen.
