Healthy Kidneys for Life, the foundation's very special children-focused health education program is coming back new, improved and ready to roll! Although the program has been in existence for many years, it has been completely revamped with a completely new approach. With childhood obesity and juvenile diabetes on the rise, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) wants to make sure that children all over Northern California and Northern Nevada are being introduced to choosing healthy choices early in life and making them aware of what the consequences of poor choices could potentially result in later on in life.

Through an adventurous story line and vivid animated characters filled with valuable educational content, HKFL will take kids on a great adventure where they will learn about their kidneys, making wise and healthy lifestyle choices, and introduced to topics such as diabetes and hypertension. A 45-minute interactive presentation module that will have kids saying "ooo-ahhh" will be making its way out into 5th grade public classrooms all over Northern CA this year!

If you'd like to see this program presented at your child or grandchild's school, please contact Patty McCormac at (415) 543-3303 x 104 or email her at patty.mccormac@kidney.org.
