A walk to raise funds for the Kidney Foundation and awareness about organ donation will be held this Sunday at the UNBC Northern Sport Centre.
Registration begins at 1 p.m. and the walk starts at 2 p.m. with door prizes and closing ceremonies set for 3:30 p.m.
Registration can also be done online. Go to www.kidneywalkbc.ca and click on the Prince George Walk.
Even though 95 per of British Columbians support the idea of organ donation, and 51 per cent believe they are registered as organ donors, only 23 per cent have registered with B.C. Transplant, according to the Foundation.
The honoree for this year's walk is Samantha Murdoch. The mother of two from Fort St. James must go through dialysis three times per week and is in need of a new kidney.
