JUNE 4: WALK FOR KIDNEYS 5k

​For our 11th year, #TeamYanong will be participating in the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois 5K Walk for Kidneys on SUNDAY, JUNE 4TH. We welcome you to join us in honoring his legacy as we continue to raise awareness about chronic kidney disease, its causes, and how it can be prevented. This event is family and dog-friendly!

Rise Training Co-Owner, DeBoa's father fell victim to kidney disease and in 2010 almost lost his life. On Jan 17, 2011, she had the honor of donating her kidney giving him more years to live life to its fullest. Although her parents were unable to physically walk the 5k, they were always at the walk, cheering us on and greeting us at the finish line, so very grateful to everyone who took the time to participate and support a cause so close to our family. Her parents are now together in Heaven and will be with us for every step. 

We give hope & encouragement to those who are on dialysis, waiting for an organ donation or who have received a transplant. If you have any questions about organ donation, please contact us!
