"AAKP has been a source of strength for me. I want future kidney patients to be able
to receive knowledge and support like I did. Becoming a Life Member of AAKP is my
way to be assured this will happen. It is truly a privilege to invest in the future of
AAKP."

- Mary Heisick
  Member of the National Board of Directors


"I ultimately became a Life Member after witnessing the enthusiasm and energy of
other AAKP patients I met. I got a first hand glimpse at the potential that permeates an organization that is patient driven."

- Dr. Stephen Fadem
  Life Member Chair, Member of the National Board of Directors


"Becoming an AAKP Life Member solidifies the bonding process between those who
regard improving the lot of kidney patients as a vital objective and the organization
most likely to effect this goal. A sense of pride and participation in a most worthy
cause is the happy reward that I derived from enrolling as a Life Member. I urge all
who are able to take this step."

- Dr. Eli Friedman
  Chair, AAKP Medical Advisory Board


"Twenty years ago, my father donated one of his kidneys to me. As anyone can
imagine, it was a life altering experience that in part made me who I am today.
Because of his generous gift I always strive to make a difference. I am fortunate to
be involved with an organization that allows me to positively impact the lives of
countless individuals each and every day. When I made the decision to become a
Life Member of AAKP, I did it not only because I wanted to be a part of ensuring
AAKP's future strength, but as a tribute to my father's continual unconditional love
and generosity."

- Kris Robinson
  Former Executive Director/CEO, AAKP

"Life Membership in AAKP was extremely important to me. So two years ago, I made the decision to 
become an AAKP Life Member. All it takes is four installments of $250 every six months for two years, 
or a one time donation of $1000, but a one time payment of $1,000 was not possible for me.  I discovered by using the "installment plan," this comes to less than $10 per week or $1.37 per day for two years!  I was spending more than that each week for coffee and donuts!  I’m now a proud Life Member and my waist line is happier because of it."
