Jean Sommer
PKD Connect Ambassador
I have been the volunteering for the St. Louis Community since 2014. I decided to volunteer because, as an ADPKD and PLD patient, I wanted to learn as much as I could about my conditions and I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others.
Learning about PKD and PLD from speakers at local events and national PKD Foundation events, like the PKDCON, also helped me face my fear of these diseases. I was very much at peace when I had my liver transplant in August 2016.
As a PKD Connect Ambassador, I hope that I can help ease the fears of others by providing education meetings for my Community members and rallying them together for our annual Walk for PKD. I was also inspired to volunteer because PKD runs in my family—both my sister and my brother are affected by this disease. In addition, I have two children who each have a 50 percent chance of having PKD. I enjoy organizing the Walk because I want there to be treatments or a cure so that my children, and others, will not have to go through what I have gone through.
