Linda Lebowitz

PKD Connect Ambassador

I am a retired elementary school teacher and love all things having to do with nature! I play guitar and sing in a rock band. My two grown sons are 34 and 24. I was diagnosed with PKD in my 30s after learning that my son had PKD after an irregular urine test. I was adopted so there was no prior family medical information.

It is my pleasure to be able to offer support to others who have PKD. This foundation has been an incredible resource and emotional support for me. I would like to be that for others.
