The walk celebrates life – life made possible through organ donation. This family-friendly event will highlight donor and transplant recipient stories and provide space for attendees to reflect on the gift of life. The event will also feature kid-friendly activities, food, music and more.

All proceeds benefit Indiana Donor Network Foundation, which provides financial and support services to families of organ donors and organ transplant recipients.

More than 1,300 Hoosiers are among more than 104,000 Americans waiting for lifesaving organ transplants. In the U.S., another person is added to the transplant waiting list every eight minutes. Each day, 17 people die because a donated organ wasn’t available in time. Hoosiers can sign up to become organ donors at their local BMV branch or online at DonateLifeIndiana.org.
