We invite you to walk your way in the 2021 Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo.

The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is thrilled to announce that registration is open for the 2021 Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo! Please note that this is a brand new registration site, so all previous walkers will have to create a NEW login for this year only with a unique email. Please visit here to learn more about our new registration site.
 
Due to capacity restrictions at the Detroit Zoo, we are limited to 1,500 walk participants. Therefore each walker over the age of 12 is asked to raise at least $50 in order to off set the cost of admission tickets, entertainment, parking, etc. Walkers age 3-12 are asked to raise $25. Walkers 2 and under are free.
 

This year’s walk will look different than previous years, with the highest importance placed on the health and safety of our supporters. However, many of the Kidney Walk traditions that you know and love will be back, including the Champions Tent, Children's Area, Free Food and Drinks, Music, leisurely strolls through the Zoo, and more!

If you are not comfortable with attending in-person, the NKFM will be presenting a live virtual program here, and on our Facebook and YouTube pages. FOX 2 Meteorologist Rich Luterman will host the show from the Detroit Zoo the morning of the walk.
 

Please contact NKFM’s Brian Christy at Bchristy@nkfm.org with any questions. 

By participating in the 2021 Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo you’ll let others know they’re not alone.

Caring knows no distance; no matter how or where you walk—one simple step can change a life.

ARE YOU IN?
