Why We Walk

Five years ago, all of our lives changed with the life-giving donation of a kidney from a living donor to our team's namesake, Walter Wright. This year, Walter is returning to walk in the NOLA Kidney Walk as one of the newest members of the National Kidney Foundation of Louisiana's Board of Directors.

Join Walter and others throughout the country to fight against kidney disease. On November 03, 2024, we’ll walk for those with this devastating chronic illness – and for those who lost their fight too soon.

Together, we walk to support the life-changing work of the National Kidney Foundation:
 

• To ensure that families will have a place to turn when they need answers.
• To keep up the fight for policy changes to protect kidney patients and living donors.
• To drive innovation in transplantation and get more loved ones off the kidney transplant waitlist.

Will you join us?

Walk with us and fundraise -or- support our efforts with a generous donation to improve the lives of kidney patients in our community and across the country.
