What a fantastic day. The North Jersey Chapter of NephCure had its second Step Forward for a cure.
September 14, 2008 Step Forward started out with rain and clouds, but with a lot of prayer it turned out to be one of the hottest days of the week.

The North Jersey Chapter of NephCure, friends, family, and our celebrity guests, Dan Upperco, LA Raiders, Bruce Harper, NY Jets, Randy Reutershan, Pitts. Steelers, and Mark Slawson, NY Giants, all gathered at the OverPeck Park in Leonia for our second annual step forward walk to benefit the NephCure Foundation.
With the help of these generous people we raised the much needed awareness and funds to help the thousands of children and adults that fight the kidney diseases, Nephrotic Syndrome and Focal Segmental Glomerulscerlosis.

So many thanks go out to my husband, Dominic, Bill Newman, Dennis Keltos, Mark Baum, CVS pharmacy's in New Milford, NJ as well as River Edge, NJ, Oritani Savings Bank, Frankies Deli, Roman Pizzeria, The New Milford Deli, The New Milford Police Department, all of New Milford, NJ, Joey Metro/Metro Entertainment, Tommy and Susan Mills, for all their hard work in obtaining the raffled items, Ivy Cohen, Mark Slawson, Bruce Harper, Randy Reutershan, and Dan Upperco for all their support. Our highlight of the day was not only walking our walk, and talking our talk, and playing Frisbee with the football players, but again meeting people who share our mission of hope and inspiration for all of the children that suffer with these kidney diseases.

Please know that our website will be available until the end of the year. If you haven't made your donation to the NephCure Foundation yet, there is still time. Please visit the link below or send it to the North Jersey Chapter of NephCure Foundation, 223 Bergen Avenue, New Milford, NJ 07646
