History of the National Kidney Foundation

The National Kidney Foundation was established in 1950 by Ada DeBold in an eff ort to save the life of her young son who had been diagnosed with pediatric nephrosis. In a heroic goal to find a cure, Ada brought together a group of clinicians and researchers from around the United States to share their findings and develop new approaches to understanding and treating the disease. The collaboration that resulted from Ada’s eff orts to raise awareness, encourage research and provide support and treatment formed the basis of the National Kidney Foundation.

Mission

The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families aff ected by kidney disease, and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.

The National Kidney Foundation is proud to be the leading organization in the United States dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease, and we aim to share our knowledge with those at risk, those aff ected by kidney disease and all those who care for and about them.

Our goal is to educate the public about the critical role the kidneys play in the body and how to keep them healthy.

VISIONTo enhance the lives

of everyone with,

at risk of,

or aff ected by

kidney disease.

• Empowering those at risk to take action at free, local kidney health screenings.

• Supporting kidney patients, organ donors, and their families - online at www.kidney.org, on the phone toll-free at 1-855-NKF-Cares, and through personal peer-mentoring.

OUR TARGET: KIDNEY DISEASEChronic kidney disease includes conditions that damage your kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy. You may develop complications like high blood pressure, anemia (low blood count), weak bones, poor nutritional health and nerve damage. Also, kidney disease increases your risk of having heart and blood vessel disease. Chronic kidney disease may be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders. When kidney disease progresses, it may eventually lead to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to maintain life.

• 1 in 9, or 26 million American adults have CKD and millions of others are at increased risk.

• Early detection can help prevent the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure.

• High risk groups include those with diabetes, hypertension and family history of kidney failure.

• African Americans, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Seniors are at increased risk.

• Three simple tests can detect CKD: blood pressure, urine albumin and serum creatinine.

• 1 in 3 adults, 73 million, are at increased risk for kidney disease because of high blood pressure

• Kidney disease kills 90,000 each year – more than breast or prostate cancer

Bobby Rydell is the ‘60s teen idol and native Philadelphian who rose to fame with such hits as “Wild One”, “Wildwood Days”, and “Volare”. In July 2012, Bobby underwent a life-saving kidney and liver transplant and has since made it his mission to raise awareness about the need for organ donations.

Due to Bobby’s successes and important milestones with The National Kidney Foundation, we have honored him as not only the namesake of our volunteer honoree award, but also as the first National Kidney Foundation Ambassador of the Delaware Valley Division.

Bobby Rydell Volunteer Honoree:

When Fran was just sixteen years old, he was diagnosed with glomerulonephritis (GN), a severe renal disease which aff ected both of his kidneys. By the time he turned twenty and started his freshman year at Lehigh University, he was on dialysis. Fran has endured one failed transplant and eleven years of dialysis, but in 1986, he underwent a successful kidney transplant.

Today, Fran is a teacher at St. Patrick’s Catholic School in Malvern and a beloved volunteer for the NKF. He is a participant in the Chester County Kidney Walk and the NKF Cadillac Golf Classic. Fran is married to Rochelle Lynam, and is one of eleven children.
