Ruchi Ambike

I was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy in 2001 and did not meet anyone else with IgAN until I came across the IgA Nephropathy Foundation in 2023. The immense feeling of connection, hope, and encouragement led me to become more involved with the Foundation, and I trained to be a Canadian Ambassador. The Foundation’s missions, including raising awareness of IgAN, providing support and education to patients, and advocating for treatment access globally, aligned with my own goals. As Lead Canadian Ambassador, I work with the Foundation to advance these objectives for Canadians, and am looking forward to seeing our Canadian Membership grow in this powerful and impactful organization.
