Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Walk
09/26/2009 - By Bedford Hills Memorial Park

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Walk

On September 26th, over 250 people gathered at the Bedford Hills Memorial Park and raised about $60,000 to help find a cure for polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

PKDs one of the most common life threatening genetic diseases, affecting 1 in 500 people, or 12.5 million people worldwide. It is passed down from generation to generation and causes kidney failure in most people who have it. In attendance were PKD patients, family members, and friends all walking together to raise awareness of the little known but prevalent and devastating disease. Walkers enjoyed a lunch donated by Shop Rite and other area food establishments, a raffle and silent auction with items donated by Best Buy and other area stores, and were able to learn more about PKD and share their wishes for those living with the disease and memories of those who lost their battle. All proceeds from the Walk for PKD will go to support research and patient programs. For more informatin about PKD and the PKD Foundation, visit www.pkdcure.org.
