The Connecticut Walk for PKD may be over…
But the fight to stop PKD continues! We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the successes of your fundraising –
-
Discovery of the PKD1and PKD2 genes and their polcystin 1 and 2 proteins, as well as the PKHD1 gene.
-
Identification of important disease mechanisms and drug targets showing promise as treatments for PKD.
-
Identification of compounds and pathways involved in cyst formation and enlargement.
-
Funding in partnership with the U.S Food and Drug Administration and pharmaceutical companies to determine regulatory endpoints for clinical trials.
-
Clinical trials underway to test potential therapies for ADPKD.
Thank you for all of your hard work fundraising over the previous weeks. Your dedication to the fight against PKD is evident!
The Walk for PKD is all about each of us doing a little to add up to a lot. Send just one more email to your friends and family, make one more ask, give one more gift … just a small amount from everyone will help us reach our $50,000 goal, as well as our $3 million Walk for PKD goal.
Don’t forget your fundraising efforts can earn you great prizes. Visit www.pkdrewards.org to claim your prizes on the second Monday after your event.
Without dedicated and passionate fundraisers, PKD Foundation programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness wouldn’t be possible. Thanks again!
Each Year the PKD Foundation Recognizes Supporters
Visionary Awards
We are proud to honor those who go above and beyond in their efforts to fight PKD. Visionaries are exceptional fundraisers who raise $6,000 or more for PKD research and patient education – in effect, donating one penny for each of the 600,000 Americans living with PKD.
There are different levels of Visionary Awards based on the total amount of money raised. Click here to learn more and get started on fundraising!
TeamFirst Awards
TeamFirst Captains are those motivated individuals who encourage and support their teammates in their fundraising efforts. A little healthy competition goes a long way when a team captain and at least three other team members collectively raise $10,000 or more!
The more fundraising dollars your team raises, the higher the level of recognition you’ll receive. Curing PKD is a team effort! Click here to learn more and get started on fundraising!
