💙 Major Story — CK Kidney Walk Raises Over $5,800
Yesterday's Chatham-Kent Kidney Walk raised more than $5,800 for the Kidney Foundation of Canada, supporting those affected by kidney disease in the community.
Why it matters to CK: Kidney disease affects roughly one in ten Canadians, often quietly — a result like this reflects real community effort behind a cause that doesn't always get the spotlight.
