LIFE Walk & Run is the signature event of The Detroit MOTTEP Foundation. In partnership with Gift of Life Michigan, our sponsors, and countless passionate supporters of three decades, this event has brought together the organ and tissue transplantation communities to save lives.  Since its humble beginning in 1997 to promote National Minority Donor Awareness Day, this annual event has been held at the beautiful Belle Isle State Park in Detroit.  To date, with over 1.3 million participants, domestic and international, and thousands of lives being directly impacted, this annual gathering has become Michigan’s largest and longest-running event of its kind, and it’s more than a walk or run; it’s a celebration of hope, healing, and life.
