Bring your family to this fun, inspiring, community fundraiser, which calls attention to the need for organ donation and prevention of kidney disease - the 9th leading cause of death in the United States.

In addition to walking along a 3.2-mile trail or a shorter trail for strollers and wheelchairs, everyone can enjoy refreshments from Panera and Starbucks, music from Moonbeam Entertainment and the Kidney Kids Corner with face painting, a petting zoo and games.

All Kidney Walk participants who raise a minimum of $100 will earn a Kidney Walk t-shirt. Funds raised through Kidney Walk will directly support the National Kidney Foundation of Maryland’s (NKF-MD) patient services, education and research efforts.

Serving central and western Maryland, the Delmarva Peninsula and portions of West Virginia, NKF-MD is the area’s only voluntary health agency dedicated to the prevention, treatment and cure of kidney and urinary tract diseases. For more information, visit www.kidneymd.org [4].
