What an AMAZING story from our area!!

In 2025, we shared the story of Mike and Liz, a couple navigating kidney disease, dialysis, and the uncertainty of waiting for a transplant. At the time, life revolved around treatments, schedules, and making the most of every moment together while hoping for what came next.

Now, we’re excited to share an update. In January 2026, Mike received a kidney transplant. Read more about their story here: www.nkfm.org/success-stories/mike-and-liz-c/

Moments like this are why we do what we do and why we walk.

In just four weeks, on May 17, join us at the Michigan Kidney Walk as we come together to support people like Mike and Liz, celebrate progress, and keep pushing for more life-changing outcomes! Kidneywalk.org/detroitzoo
