First Event Back

Your First Event Back—Let KDA Cheer You On!

Are you a kidney donor dreaming of crossing your first finish line since donation? Whether it’s a 5K walk, a marathon, a triathlon, or a cycling race, Kidney Donor Athletes (KDA) is here to celebrate and support YOU!

Our First Event Back program was created just for living kidney donors who are ready to lace up and prove that donation is not the end of your athletic journey—it’s just the beginning of an even more powerful one. This initiative is designed to help you take that exciting first step back into competition or movement-based goals with confidence, community, and a little KDA magic.

What’s Included?

If selected for sponsorship, you may receive:

• Financial assistance toward your event registration
• Exclusive KDA gear to wear proudly on race day
• Personal encouragement from the KDA community—we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!
• A spotlight on our social media and website—because your story deserves to inspire others!

Who Can Apply?

This program is open to any living kidney donor who has not yet completed an athletic event post-donation and is looking for support to take that leap.

Whether you’re jogging your first mile, joining a local yoga class, or eyeing that big race, KDA wants to recognize your strength, spirit, and commitment to showing the world what’s possible with one kidney.
