Hundreds came together in Huntsville this weekend for the 2026 Kidney Walk, raising awareness and support for those impacted by kidney disease 💚

The event highlighted a powerful reality: more than 10,000 people across Alabama rely on dialysis, and many face daily challenges accessing care. 

Events like this help fund critical services such as transportation to treatment, medication support, and other essential needs while bringing the community together around a shared cause.

Every step taken is a step toward greater awareness, support, and hope for patients and families affected by kidney disease. 💚

Thank you to our local media partner WAKA CBS Action 8 News & Reporter Carrington Cole for the opportunity to sit down with our 2026 Montgomery Patient Chair, Michael McCurry, Pastor of Unity Worship Center & his wife Tammie on their journey together as a family with kidney disease & transplant. We appreciate the McCurry family for sharing their testament of how faith, love & support helped to guide them through their own special path to being off dialysis & kidney disease free thanks to a selfless donor & transplant.

Stories like Michael’s are what helps fuel the Alabama Kidney Foundation’s mission of assisting & supporting kidney disease patients.
With just over 2 weeks away from the AKF Montgomery Kidney Walk & Celebration on May 2nd & it’s not too late to join us!
