PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A little rain did not stop nearly 400 people from running, walking - or even rolling - at Sellwood Riverfront Park Sunday morning, all in support of a good cause.
The "Strut Your Kidney" fun run featured 5k, 10k, and 1-mile distances, with all proceeds benefiting Northwest Kidney Kids, a local nonprofit which aids children and teens living with chronic kidney disease in the Pacific Northwest.
Board member Lauren Lynn's daughter got kidney disease through contracting e. Coli Hemolytic-Uremic Syndrome (HUS) as a toddler before receiving a transplant. This year, Lynn said they were celebrating her "ten-year kidney anniversary," with a lot of the celebration thanks to Northwest Kidney Kids. • The 'Strut Your Kidney' fun run took place at Sellwood Riverfront Park on
