Why We Do What We Do: Hear Joshua’s Story
Meet Joshua Albright, a happy and seemingly-healthy 17-year-old who had just graduated from high school, and on his way to college. His life changed when he was diagnosed with FSGS, a rare and rapidly progressing kidney disease. His future suddenly seemed uncertain. Fortunately, Joshua was able to enroll in a clinical trial for a new FSGS therapy, a reality made possible by NephCure’s ongoing fight for rare kidney disease research.
