This event has ended but you can still make a donation! Please help us in our fight to knock out PKD!

 

Join us for a great morning!  After you check-in and get your door prize number, grab a snack and some coffee/water and visit our booths.  Trader Joes, Fresenius, the Chicago Chapter, Accelerating Clinical Trials and more.  The kids can have fun in the kids area with face painting.  Trax, the Chicago Express mascot, will be on hand to entertain kids of all ages.

 

Look for volunteers selling prize drawing tickets for $2 each, or $10 for an arm length.  You could possibly win a necklace from Lia Sophia, a personal blood pressure machine, and an autographed mini helmet signed by Brian Urlaucher.

 

Stick around after the walk and watch the fatastic Jesse White Tumblers perform!

Fight PKD Head On – Take the 20/20 Vision Challenge

 

As those affected by PKD, our vision of the future is clear – AN END TO PKD! That’s why we’re taking the 20/20 Vision Challenge and asking 20 friends to donate $20 each. Join us—it’s easy and effective.

Do you know 20 people you can ask for $20 each? Of course you do! All you need to do now is reach out and ask them to make an investment towards a future free of PKD. With this simple request alone, you can raise $400 to help find treatments and a cure for PKD.

The impact of our 20/20 Vision can truly change lives! Last year, if all 12,000 Walk participants had taken the 20/20 Vision Challenge and raised $400 each, nearly $5 million could have been raised for PKD research and education.

Make 2011 the year we all join the 20/20 Vision Challenge and exceed our goal of raising $2.5 million to find treatments and a cure for PKD. Join us as we fight PKD and WIN!
