okay, okay...here's the answer to my question....even though foundation was formed in 69 it wasn't til 71 that they chose the NKF. they chose it because, surprisingly, kidney disease was a leading cause of death in women at that time. I remember going to convention and seeing the guest speaker from teh NKF...she suffered from kidney disease (i think she got a transplant though). it was shocking to see how young she was (she was prolly mid twenties!).
I don't want to be a hog, so I'll leave your question for someone else.....maybe they're all too busy to check the message boards
