One simple step can change a life.
Your walk builds hope for a future without suffering—for every person in this fight. Are you with us?
By participating in the 2026 Michigan Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo, you’ll let others know they’re not alone.
Every walker plays a vital role in helping us reach our fundraising goal and support programs for Michiganders with chronic kidney disease. Walkers over the age of 12 are asked to raise at least $50 to help us maximize net proceeds in support of our kidney community. (Walkers aged 3-12 are asked to raise at least $15, and those aged 2 and under are free.) The Kidney Walk at the Detroit Zoo is our largest fundraiser, with over 80% of proceeds supporting programs and services like Kid's Camp, Emergency Fund, Enhance®Fitness, and more.
All those that raise $100 individually will earn an official Kidney Walk t-shirt.
