[Classifieds] [classifieds] Kidney Walk for the National Kidney Foundation

[MBL Classifieds]

Hi All - 

My friend, Matt Botchler has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. That means he is responsible for finding his own donor - a daunting task! But if anyone can do it, Matt can! He is such an amazing, inspiring person and has such an awesome outlook on life. There's no pity party for Matt! He's giving it all he's got to find himself a kidney! I know he can do it but he needs our help. 

Here is a short story about his journey to date: http://www.longislandadvance.net/articles/2014/03/20/Seeking-the-Gift-of-Life 

Those interested in learning more about Matt and kidney disease can visit his Facebook page at www.facebook.com/matts.kidney.kampaign . Anyone interested in becoming a donor can "like" his fb page, share this message, or contact the Zweig Family Center for Living Donations at (212) 659-8024. 

Also, if you happen to be in the Long Island area on May 18, they are doing Kidney Walk to raise money for the Foundation. For how to donate specifically for Matt's Walk Team (KOOL BEANZ) visit: http://donate.kidney.org/site/TR/Walk/GreaterNewYork?pg=team&fr_id=6640&team_id=176622 - the walk is on Sunday, May 18 (for information on the walk itself, visit: http://donate.kidney.org/site/TR/Walk/GreaterNewYork?pg=entry&fr_id=6640 ). There will be a Kidney Walk in Boston on October 26. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
