Maryland Kidney Walk
Step up to raise awareness of kidney disease, organ donation and the importance of early screening and healthy lifestyle for those at risk. Join the National Kidney Foundation for this inspiring community fundraiser.
Check-in begins at 9 a.m. at Erickson Field and the Walk kicks off at 10 a.m., following a Zumba warmup led by Tisha Guthrie (an NKFMDDE board member, health and fitness professional, and transplant recipient) and a brief opening ceremony featuring the family of 2025 Maryland Kidney Walk Youth Ambassador Jordan Robertson – a 21-year-old Catonsville resident who underwent a kidney transplant this July.
The Marching Elite (youth marching band), Superhero Supports, Old-Line Garrison (premier Star Wars costuming group) and Major Offense will cheer on walkers taking a 2-mile path or a shorter, patient-friendly path for strollers and wheelchairs. DJ Young Fresh Prince – a 19-year-old transplant recipient from Frederick, MD and NKFMDDE Ambassador – will return to spin tunes for the fourth year in a row.
Elle Moseley aka “Chef Mo” from Cre8tiveMindz Café – who also is a transplant recipient – will join Jimmy’s Seafood, Kona Ice and additional food trucks with refreshments available for purchase. The event also will feature water donated by UMBC, apples donated by Shaw Orchard, pretzels donated by Wawa, interactive vendor booths and the Kidney Kids Corner with face painting, arts & crafts, games and more!
Event proceeds directly support NKF’s local patient services, education and research efforts. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged. Everyone who raises a minimum of $100 will receive a commemorative Walk T-shirt, and additional recognition gifts will be awarded for meeting various fundraising levels.
Kidney Walk is the nation's largest fundraiser to fight kidney disease. Held in more than 50 communities, thousands of walkers join NKF annually to raise over $10 million to help kidney patients and their families each year. More than 84 cents of every dollar raised directly supports NKF programs and services.
