Thank you to everyone who walked in the Kansas City Walk for PKD! It was a beautiful day at our new site, Avila University. Avila did a fantastic job hosting the event and the cheerleaders and dance team did a great job keeping everyone entertained.
All the kids had fun running the Penny Kids Dash. There is just something about running through a finish line banner...
Congratulations to Dr. Jim Calvet for winning the KC Sporting Tickets for having more than $250 in fundraising turned in before the walk. Enjoy those tickets Dr. Calvet!
Remember you can continue fundraising through the end of the year! We want to reach our fundraising goal of $70,000! This is how we can fight PKD!
Step up to FIGHT PKD
When it comes to PKD, now is the time for a knockout! We’re fighting PKD head on and we’re going to win. In our corner - YOU - along with 77 cents of every dollar you raise directly funds critical programs of PKD research, education, advocacy, support and awareness.

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!
