An enthusiastic group of Portsmouth students and faculty braved inclement weather in Pawtucket, RI, on Saturday, September 28, to walk for kidney health as part of the National Kidney Foundation's 2008 Kidney Walk.  The Portsmouth team was among a group of 400 walkers at the Rhode Island site and raised $500 toward the Rhode Island total of $30,000 to benefit kidney research.

Making the 5K walk were:

Mary Frances Holte '09
Kerry Klemmer '09
Ed Kielb '11
Christian Barcenas '12
Sidharth Sharma '12
Courtney Macomber '12
Jaime Chapman '12
Jesse Bessinger '12
Amelia Gray '12
Emmy Falvey '11
Emily Cunningham '11

They were accompanied by team leader and faculty member Ms. Lizzie Benestad.
