PKD Connect Ambassador
My husband and I were involved with the PKD Walk when we moved to Portland 16 years ago. We took a break to have a baby, get a transplant, brain surgery for our 5 year old who had a brain cyst, do foster care, adopt our second child, have radiation for a benign brain tumor (myself), and survive 8 more surgeries for complications related to PKD(my husband). After all that we’re back, more determined than ever!
I’m very excited to be part of such an amazing group of people who are committed to finding a cure for this terrible disease! As my husband always says, “there’s always someone much worse than myself”, with that attitude you can accomplish anything!
