About Event

DRESS DOWN in aid of kidney patients. You can...

1) FUNDRAISE FOR THIS EVENT as a corporate

2) DONATE a minimum of RM10 to receive a badge and wear your support

Kick off your high heels and take off that corporate tie for a good cause in March as its ‘World Kidney Month’. Come show your support for over 30,000 Malaysians who are on dialysis treatment, simply by going casual and wearing a badge to show your support and care.

Gather your colleagues, friends and families and do a good deed today by purchasing a badge at RM10 each or if you choose to donate towards the fund, please click on the "DONATE TO THIS EVENT" button. Tax exemption receipt will be provided for a minimum donation of RM50.

There are 30,000 Malaysians who are currently on dialysis, 3 times per week, 4 hours per session. Each year 5,500 new Malaysians are diagnosed with kidney failure and complications.                  

The sad fact is that should these patients fail to obtain a transplant, they are dependent on a machine for the rest of their lives. Realising this and seeing a desperate need to help poor patients who simply can’t afford the exorbitant cost of dialysis, the MAA-Medicare Kidney Charity Fund (Medicare) public trust fund was established 20 years ago.

Our patients pay RM60 per dialysis session, 13 times a month compared to RM150 - RM250 per session at private centres and hospitals.

RM60 buys one session of dialysis (medical supplies) for 1 kidney patient.

Do your part today and come forward to support our patients and help us save lives!

You can join us to FUNDRAISE or DONATE to support this cause.
