May is National PKU Awareness month and we're going "wild" for PKU by sponsoring three walks across the state.  The first walk will be on May 17th at the Knoxville Zoo.  Registration will begin at 8:00a.m. and will be followed by a celebration and guest speakers. The second walk will be at the Nashville Zoo.  Registration begins at 9:00am and we will have a luncheon for PKU families and special guest speaker, Dr. Ray Stevens.  The third walk will be on June 7th at the Memphis Zoo starting at 8:00am and will also be followed by a celebration at the Primate Pavillion with guest speakers. Our goal with these walks is to raise money for research as well as increase awareness.  Below are the registration forms; Additional details of each walk is in the registration forms.
