OnSight is proud to be working with school officials, parents, and current and former students to help Andrew Menard – one of Amos Steck Elementary School’s most beloved teachers and winner of Denver Public Schools’ 2011 Distinguished Teacher Award – on an unusual and serious quest. These loyal friends, students, and colleagues are helping to raise awareness about kidney disease…and along the way they hope to find Mr. Mendard a kidney. Mr. Menard has been diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease, and as standard treatments are becoming less effective, his search for a cure is getting more critical.

It was our pleasure to lend a hand and help Andrew and the Steck community get some attention from the local media. We also want to thank the reporters and photographers who came out for such a good cause.

To date, we know that the “Kids 4 Kidneys” project has succeeded in reaching at least several individuals have volunteered to be tested to see if they are a donor match.

We continue to wish the best for Andrew, and will be following his story closely.
