Free webinars for those in need of a kidney transplant

The Living Kidney Donors Network (LKDN) is offering a series of free *webinars at multiple times on different dates, Monday, February 8th, Tuesday February 9th and again on Monday, February 15th. All webinars will start at 7:30 PM Central Time.

“Having Your Donor Find You” is presented by the Living Kidney Donors Network (LKDN).

Who should attend? This webinar is perfect for people that are in need of a kidney transplant and want to learn how to communicate their need to friends and family. If there is someone that wants to help you spread the word about your need, we call them Advocates, ask them to sign up for the webinar or have them attend with you.
