History Maker: Founder NKF of KC parent children w CKD
As parents of children who suffered from “nephrosis,” Virginia Clune and her husband Patrick felt it was important to bring awareness of the disease and build a support network for other parents and children. In 1966, the Clunes created the local Chapter of NKF in Kansas City. Since then, the Clunes with family and friends have been strong advocates for kidney health, with Virginia at the helm. Even in her 90s, she continues to be NKF’s champion. Her family’s generosity has a profound impact on the community.
