Every year, Northwest Kidney Kids proudly highlights a Strut Warrior, a child or young adult whose journey with kidney disease inspires our entire community. Our Strut Warrior represents strength, resilience, and hope. Their story reminds us why we come together to walk, run, and rally in support of all kidney kids and their families.
