Thank you to everyone who attended and supported the 2023 Walk for PKD. Fundraising remains open until Dec. 31. Help us reach our goal by donating to your local Walk for PKD today. A cure is our finish line! |
There’s a new way ADPKD Registry participants can step up to provide hope today, and for future generations. The nation’s first dedicated ADPKD Registry is now also one of the first patient registries of any kind to integrate patient-provided health records. Share your health records through your provider’s online portal with a few simple steps on the ADPKD Registry.
Now, as always, the PKD Foundation is committed to our mission of giving hope, advocating for patients, and building a community for all impacted by PKD. We'll continue supporting our community by providing important resources and timely updates on social media. If you have questions or need help navigating this unprecedented health crisis, we are here for you. Email or call (844) PKD-HOPE.
Join the team!

Theresa Raguso
Walk for PKD Ambassador
Hi, I’m Theresa and I am the volunteer Chicago Walk Ambassador…again! I have been involved with the ChicagoWalk – be it as a walker, volunteer or the coordinator- for just about 20 years, having attended my first Walk for PKD in 2005. Team Sal’s Pals came to be a few years later and in 2014, I began organizing the Chicago Walk. I am excited to be back volunteering with the foundation after a couple of years off and ready to work with my Chicago and PKD Community to #EndPKD!
