My daughter was recently diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy. I’m raising my voice for her and for every patient facing this disease. My goal is to help others understand what IgAN is, raise awareness, and advocate for the research that will lead to better treatment and ultimately, a cure.

We Can for IgAN: Every Step. Every Story. Every Hope.

This year, the IgA Nephropathy Foundation is honored to have been selected as an official charity partner of the Jersey City Marathon

— a recognition that gives our community the incredible opportunity to share our mission on one of the region’s biggest stages.

As Team We Can for IgAN, we’re running, walking, and fundraising to bring visibility to IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) — a rare autoimmune kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure.

For us, every step represents strength, every mile carries a story, and every finish line moves us closer to a cure.

The IgA Nephropathy Foundation is the only nonprofit 100% dedicated to supporting IgAN patients and their families through education,

financial aid, mental health support, and groundbreaking research.

Being part of this marathon isn’t just about running — it’s about standing together, showing what’s possible, and turning awareness into action.

We run for our loved ones. We run for hope. We run because We Can for IgAN.

💙 Join us. Support us. Believe with us.

Donate to our team, become a fundraiser, or simply share our story.

Together, we can do what once felt impossible — and cross the finish line for a future free from IgA Nephropathy.
