Today is World Kidney Day.
It is a day to recognize of kidneys to the overall function and health.
Kincardine resident Cathy Pennington’s 15-year-old son Christopher has kidney disease.
Cathy says it remains a huge problem for Christopher and others who suffer from it.
Every year Christopher organizes a walk to raise money for the Kidney Foundation.
Cathy hopes stories like Bonnie O’Reilly, mother of St. Louis Blues forward Ryan O’Reilly, who donated her kidney to a family friend will encourage others to get involved and raise awareness about kidney disease.
