Lucky Kidney Run™ is a major fundraiser benefiting the East Tennessee Kidney Foundation. Join more than 200 walkers and runners to bring awareness to this “silent” disease and support those that suffer from kidney disease – 100% of funds raised stay right here in East Tennessee! Please support their local mission of improving the lives of East Tennesseans with kidney disease – no donation or fundraising goal is too small!
