Please join us for our annual fundraising event to benefit Polycystic Kidney Disease research and awareness.
PKD, one of the most common, life-threatening genetic diseases, affects generations of families, striking both adults and children. It often leads to the need for dialysis and a kidney transplant. The 2.8 mile Walk for PKD brings volunteers, walkers and supporters together as we unite to find treatments and a cure for polycystic kidney disease. One in 500 people have PKD, yet hardly anyone has heard of it. We will continue to walk until no one has to suffer the full effects of this devastating disease. Through our efforts we have developed a potential treatment but there is no cure - thanks to our supporters - there is hope!
Registration is now open.
The walk and fun begins at 9:30 am. There will be refreshments from local vendors, a DJ as well as prize drawings, educational, fun and kids activities. The event is free but fundraising or a donation is appreciated. Pre-Register, form a team, come out to have fun and walk or donate to this worthy cause!
