PKD Connect AMbassador

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) has played a huge role in my 25 years of life. I have lost my grandmother and my dad to this disease; however, I am hopeful a cure will be found soon. My whole family is so thankful for the Foundation for all the support they provide to this cause. Volunteering is one way that I hope to bring awareness and commemorate my grandmother and dad.
