National Pack Your Lunch Day Many of us buy lunch everyday at work or school, rather than taking 10 minutes in the morning or the night before to make our own. Pack Your Lunch Day celebrates the humble homemade lunch, whether it’s a sandwich, leftovers, sushi or something altogether different. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/pack-your-lunch-day/

International Day of Awesomeness A day for celebrating all things awesome, and everything awesome that you, your friends, and everybody else does. Take a moment to consider everything that you’re awesome at, and to recognise feats of awesomeness performed around you for the Day Of Awesomeness. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/day-of-awesomeness/

World Kidney Day aims to raise awareness of kidney-related diseases and of the overall importance of our kidneys to our health. It also tries to highlight preventative measures, in an attempt to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and related health problems, on a global scale. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-kidney-day/

Mario Day In recognition of everyone’s favourite pizza-loving Nintendo character, take part in celebrating Mario Day. First appearing in Donkey Kong in 1981, Mario soon became not only the mascot for computer giant Nintendo, but also a worldwide sensation. The hugely successful Super Mario Bros. series, featuring Mario and his brother Luigi, defined the 1980’s and the 1990’s and Mario himself still remains one of the most adored, world-renowned computer heroes of all time. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mario-day/

If anyone is can help, here is a worthy cause:

Today, patient advocates from the National Kidney Foundation, Alport Syndrome Foundation, American Association of Kidney Patients, and Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation are in Washington, DC to meet with their Representatives and Senators. We need your voice too!

Email your Representatives and Senators to stand with kidney patients by:
Supporting efforts to improve early detection and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) through a new demonstration program
Cosponsoring the Living Donor Protection Act (H.R.4616/S.2584)
Increasing funding to the CDC’s Chronic Kidney Disease Program, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Division of Transplantation to advance kidney disease research and transplant programs.

Join us by urging your Members of Congress and Senators to support these priorities.
Thank you for making a difference during National Kidney Month!

Vice President for Government Relations
