The fourth annual Kidney Kare 5K Run/Walk of 2009 on March 21 was a huge success, with more than 350 runners and walkers participating.

Many thanks to the volunteers who came out to help, and to our fundraisers and sponsors who helped support our cause. All proceeds benefit the UNC Kidney Center’s Kidney Education Outreach Program and the Kidney Patient Emergency Assistance Fund.
Check out the photos below. Hope to see you next year at the 5th annual race!
