In just eight short years, the Walk for PKD has become the signature event for funding programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness for polycystic kidney disease.
Though the fundraising is truly impressive – more than $12 million in eight years - we have just begun to scratch the surface. Here in Columbus we raised $28,282 last year and are aiming for $30,000 in 2009.
The PKD Foundation is focused on rallying everyone to get involved and make an even bigger impact in the fight against PKD. This year, we are asking all Walk participants to ask 20 friends for $20, and join our 20/20 Vision. Can it really be that easy? Truthfully, It is. Keeping it simple and remembering that when we focus on fundraising, the results are clear:
We will get one step closer to a cure for PKD.
