Ralph Knapp, your community loves and remembers you.
Thank you all for your messages of support.
🧡💚✨
With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Ralph Knapp, a founder of KidneyCAN and leader of our mission to accelerate cures for kidney cancer.
Ralph was diagnosed in 2014 with stage IV kidney cancer and used the opportunity to increase research funding and bring hope to patients everywhere. Ralph brought a unique energy and entrepreneurial acumen to kidney cancer advocacy, and despite his health challenges, was never without a smile and a hug for everyone. He was a model of faith and optimism, and our team will miss him enormously.
We are committed to carrying Ralph's mission forward and will share more in the days to come.
