PHILADELPHIA, PA – March is Kidney Month, and NephCure is proud to join the global movement to raise awareness about kidney health. As the only kidney organization squarely focused on rare, protein-spiling kidney diseases, NephCure is committed to advocating for the thousands of patients and families affected by conditions such as FSGS, IgAN, Nephrotic Syndrome and other rare kidney diseases.
Though individually classified as rare, these diseases belong to a group of 150 conditions, each affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. Collectively, rare kidney diseases (RKD) impacts a significant number of individuals, yet they often remain underdiagnosed and misunderstood. NephCure works to change that by providing expert resources, funding groundbreaking research, and helping advance new treatments to improve patient outcomes.
Your Support Changes Lives: NephCure Aims to Raise $25,000 This Kidney Month in Honor of its 25th Anniversary
For 25 years, NephCure has been committed to creating a world where all who are affected by RKD are connected to new and better treatments—and one day, a cure.
As the organization moves towards this milestone, NephCure has set a goal to raise $25,000 during Kidney Month, in honor of their 25th anniversary. Your support directly impacts those affected by RKD, funding critical initiatives such as:
- Innovative research to accelerate the discovery of breakthrough treatments
- Educational resources to empower patients and families
- Patient support programs that connect and uplift the RKD community
Community members can show their support for NephCure throughout Kidney Month by visiting the official Kidney Month landing page. This dedicated resource page offers multiple ways to get involved, including:
- Making a donation to fuel critical research and advocacy efforts
- Sharing personal stories to help raise awareness of rare kidney diseases
- Accessing expert resources to better understand RKD, its impact, and available support
In addition, NephCure has created a social media toolkit to encourage widespread digital advocacy and is offering Kidney Month T-shirts for purchase to help spread awareness.
Any of the actions that can be taken on this page—whether big or small—contribute to the fight against RKD. By engaging with these tools and spreading awareness, individuals can play a vital role in advancing NephCure’s mission.
