They
do
this
as
part
of
the
kidney
march,
a
yearly
fundraiser
to
support
kidney
health
and
raise
awareness
for
chronic
kidney
disease.
Robin
work
calls
kidney
disease,
a
silent
killer
that
can
impact
people
at
any
age.
He
is
walking
to
honor
the
many
people
who
have
been
impacted,
including
his
own
aunt,
who
live
with
kidney
disease.
A
Robin's
experience
having
a
family
member
with
kidney
disease
is
far
from
uncommon.
Four
million
canadians
and
one
in
ten
british
columbians
have
some
degree
of
kidney
disease
and
most
don't
even
know
it.
Many
lose
up
to
eighty
percent
of
their
kidney
function
before
they
are
are
diagnosed,
and
by
that
point
it
may
be
too
late
to
act.
A
A
By
assessing
your
risk
for
kidney
disease,
you
can
diagnose
it
early
and
often
even
slow
or
stop
the
disease
through
medication
and
changes
to
lifestyle
and
diet
bc.
Renal
also
offers
a
quick
and
easy
online
kidney
self
assessment,
as
well
as
many
other
resources
to
improve
your
understanding
of
kidney
health.
