Neff J E F F R E Y N E F F A h e a r t f e lt t h a n k y o u I wanted to personally thank each and every one of you who made this event, and the National Kidney Foundation of Arizona, a priority this year. As you all know, Dancing with the Stars Arizona: Fire & Ice will be a fiery time. That’s the way we like it. But while you’re cheering on your favorite dancers, clap a bit for yourself too. Your support allows NKF AZ to do so much for people in Arizona battling kidney disease. Your tickets and votes will help get patients to dialysis, provide medications and supplements, and spread education and prevention throughout the state about the growing problem of kidney disease. With your help, it will soon, no longer be the “Silent Killer”. So, sit back. Relax, and enjoy the show. I’ll see you on the dance floor!
