National Kidney Foundation of Michigan

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, and any donation will help make an impact. My dad passed away while going through the process of a kidney transplant. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me and my family.

More information about National Kidney Foundation of Michigan: The mission of the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan is to prevent kidney disease and improve the quality of life for those living with it.

Hello! My name is Shannon Marie Smith. I live with Polycystic Kidney Disease and am on dialysis 3 time a week for three hours each day. PKD forms cysts on the kidneys until the point they eventually fail. Dialysis is what is keeping me alive until I can hopefully get a transplant. I walk because I can. There are many people who suffer kidney disease that are not able to take care of themselves. I am lucky to still be able to function daily. It may not be easy some days, but I battle on like many do.

I am doing my annually walk at the Detroit Zoo and am looking for donations to help me reach my goal or beyond. Will you please help me? Any amount helps.

Thank you. :-)
