Welcome! Thank you for visiting our Kidney Walk page.

By registering today, and taking this lifesaving step you will walk alongside the more than 900,000 individuals in Michigan facing the challenges of chronic kidney disease in a fun and rewarding way. You will help raise critical funds that ensure the continuation and expansion of our education and prevention programs, drive advocacy, provide services to help those affected by kidney disease, promote organ donation and fulfill our mission of preventing kidney disease and improving the quality of life for those living with it. 

There is a minimum registration expectation of $20 for all walkers over the age of 12. Walkers ages 2-12 will have a $10 fee. This will be applied to the walker’s pledge total.  Thank you for your support.
