Make a difference in the lives of 12.5 million people.
We are looking for volunteers to help with some small duties to keep our Chapter growing, and raise PKD awareness in our area. If you are comfortable speaking in front of groups we are looking for one or more individuals to speak about PKD at service groups like Kiwanis or Sertoma. These groups usually have a speaker at their monthly meetings, and this is an easy way to help spread the word about PKD. We can supply you with a script, PKD handouts and materials. Please contact Bob at DaytonCincinnatiChapter@pkdcure.org if you would like more information.
