t Long Running Success Congratulations to the Alive to Strive organizing committee and founder Marie-Eve Chainey on their 10th anniversary Sunday, April 26, 2020.

Alive to Strive is based in Ottawa and is committed to education, prevention and awareness of kidney disease. In the last nine years, Alive to Strive has raised over $30,000 to support The Kidney Foundation’s programs and services in Eastern Ontario.
