Kidney Walks have been an integral part of our fundraising world since 1996. Since that time, the Kidney Walks have grown into an almost $1 million/year extravaganza in Michigan, and happen throughout the country!

Meet Bob Biess

Bob Biess has battled kidney disease for more than 30 years. When Bob’s kidneys began to fail, he was encouraged by his doctor to find a living donor. His care partner and veteran marketing pro wife, Barb, launched his website, Kidney2SaveBob.com, last April and received many responses from family and friends willing to get tested to see if they were a kidney match. It turns out that a neighbor, named Allen, was a match!

Allen donated a kidney to Bob in January 2023. As it turns out, in recovery after the surgery, Allen’s heart started to race. A quick test revealed a heart condition that was previously unknown to Allen and his doctor. Not only did Allen help Bob by donating his kidney, but now he knows of his heart condition and can take steps to monitor it.
