Second Annual Boston Countdown To A Cure Announced

Nephcure Kidney International has recently announced the second annual Boston based fundraising gala Countdown To A Cure will be taking place on Saturday September 26, 2020 at 6:00 PM. The event will be held at the Boston Marriott Hotel in Quincy, Massachusetts.

I for one am looking forward to this event and meeting up with other patients and learn how they are coping with the various forms of kidney disease. This event will raise funds for Nephcure, which will in turn be used to help fund medical research that will eventually lead to real treatment options and hopefully keep more and more people from needing dialysis and/or transplants.

I hope to learn more about this event in the coming weeks and will pass on any relevant information as it comes along. Let us know if you plan on attending in the comment section!

On Saturday June 22, 2020 from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM a fundraiser will be held at SweetFrog Premium Frozen Yogurt in Marshfield, Ma. This is a benefit with 10% of all proceeds going to Nephcure Kidney International! If you’re from the Cape Cod or Greater Boston area, consider making the trip down to support the cause. I’m planning on making the trip myself and really, isn’t that reason enough to be there?

Seriously, the people at Nephcure do great work, so lets support efforts like this and help grow the cause!

The official flyer for the event is below. If I get any more information on this or other local events I’ll post it here and in the forum. Planning on going? Let us know!
