Kidney Health Week - 22 May to 28 May 2011
It's Time For Some Decent Exposure
Kidney Health Australia is launching its annual Kidney Health Week campaign under the banner of "Red Undies Week". Red Undies Week is designed to be playful and a little bit cheeky and give some decent exposure to chronic kidney disease, a disease which has flown under the radar for too long. To take part in Red Undies Week visit our great new website www.redundiesweek.org.au and support Kidney Health Australia. To order our great posters, visit our resource centre.
