PKD is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic kidney diseases affecting thousands in America and millions worldwide.  People with PKD develop fluid-filled cysts in their kidneys which cause them to increase in size and may weigh up to 30 pounds.  The PKD Foundation has been leading the fight against PKD for over 30 years through research, education, advocacy, support, and awareness. The website for PKD is www.pkdcure.org.  The Walk for PKD is the signature fundraiser event for the PKD Foundation.  For more information and to register, go to www.walkforpkd.org/sanantonio/  We welcome sponsor support (financial and gift-in-kind donations) for our walk and encourage corporate businesses to put together teams to increase both exercise and community support for those "living with PKD" as we ensure "A Cure is Our Finish Line".  For more information, please contact Patti O'Grady Ruffin, volunteer San Antonio Walk for PKD Coordinator, sanantoniowalk@pkdcure.org or 210-414-6614.
