The 2024 St. Louis National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Kidney Walk held last Sunday at Westport Plaza was a big success, raising over $93,000 that will provide support and education to patients with kidney disease.
WashU Nephrology’s Noble Nephrons, the 3rd highest fundraising team, raised nearly $5000, which far exceeded their initial goal of $2500.
Our Division hosted a vendor’s table at which swag was given out. “We had cups, pens, and lip balm – the most popular item!” says Koeller.
First-year nephrology fellow Atlee Baker, MD, MPH, was part of the Noble Nephrons Team. This was his first NKF Kidney Walk.
Koeller is grateful to everyone involved with this year’s walk: “We truly appreciate all of your generosity, teamwork, and encouragement.”
Thanks to Carrie Koeller and Dr. Atlee Baker for the pictures.
