jn
anny Zivian’s
16th birthday
earlier this
month came with
two goals. First,
he wants to raise
$15,000 at this year’s
Kidney Walk, orga-
nized by the National
Kidney Foundation
of Michigan at the
Detroit Zoo on May
21, to bring his total
raised since 2012 to an Danny Zivian
impressive $100,000.
Then he hopes to get a new kidney.
Zivian of West Bloomfield has
been battling kidney disease since
he was a baby. While his health has
been a battle, he lives a full and
busy life, acting in local produc-
tions, most recently in Shrek the
Musical at North Farmington High
School. Danny’s biggest passion,
however, has been raising funds for
the National Kidney Foundation of
Michigan. He is the top junior fun-
draiser.
“Every year I get overwhelmed by
the outpouring of kind words and
generosity from supporters of Team
Danny for the Kidney
Walk,” he says. “This
year’s fundraising has a
sense of urgency because
hospital tests recently
showed that my kidneys
are declining and I will
be preparing for a trans-
plant.”
For the past 21 years,
more than 70,000 Metro
Detroit walkers and sup-
porters have teamed up
to raise more than $6
million for the Kidney
Walk. As the organization’s largest
fundraising event, 90 cents of every
dollar raised goes directly to the foun-
dation’s programs and services.
Participants can register onsite
on the day of the walk or online
beforehand. Registration is $25 per
person ($10 per child for ages 3-12)
and includes parking, zoo admission
and activities. Kids under 2 are free.
Registration at the zoo begins at 7:30
a.m. and the walk kicks off at 8:45
a.m. To register, visit www.nkfm.org/
walks. To donate to Danny Zivian’s
