Kidney Walk - National Kidney Foundation of Michigan (NKFM)

Join an existing team, form a team, or walk as an individual. There are fundraising prizes and incentives too. Donations help fund worthwhile programs, such as peer mentoring, as well as research.

26 million Americans over the age of 20 have chronic kidney disease, also known as CKD. That number includes more than 940,000 adults in Michigan. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure in the U.S. High blood pressure is the second leading cause. More than 70% of all kidney failure caused by diabetes or high blood pressure could be prevented or delayed by eating healthy, getting exercise, and taking the right medications.
