Manier assisted by Run for Life, SHF

Kristen Manier, center, of Republic, receives flowers and gift certificates from Amy Harju, organizer of the annual Run For Life walk/run, and Jim LaJoie, executive director of the Superior Health Foundation. Manier has been undergoing peritoneal dialysis at home and through Fresenius Medical Care at Marquette General Hospital since her kidneys failed in 2012. To assist Manier, 31, with travel to undergo dialysis, along with tending to two young children, the Superior Health Foundation provided Manier with a gas card and two restaurant gift certificates. The funding came from the Run for Life Organ Donation Fund, a fund established a year ago to provide charitable support for organ donors and recipients to help with out-of-pocket expenses.
