Become a Nephlete

The Nephlete Experience

Together to the finish line. Couch potatoes and athletes alike are invited to participate in established events to fundraise for NephCure in honor of friends or family members who are battling Nephrotic Syndrome and FSGS.  We call these fundraisers Nephletes, who are automatically part of the NephCure Super Squad, joining folks from all over the world who share your efforts in both large and smaller events. 

Potential events include marathons, swimmathons, bikeathons, triathalons, and other competitive challenges.
