Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is among the most common hereditary diseases affecting 1 in 500 people. Yet no hardly anyone has heard of it. There is no cure and no treatment but with your help there is Hope!
Registration is Free – This is a fundraiser event. Pre-registration is helpful.
Phone: 508-358-6669, email: Bostonwalk@pkdcure.org
Register for the walk for free at www.Bostonwalk.org. Then ask 20 friends for $20 each. It’s that simple. Each one does a little and together it adds up to a lot. This is a fundraising event! A tee shirt is given out to any registrant raising $100 donation, other prizes are available for $200 and greater.
This is a family event to raise awareness and money to help fund research to find a way to stop this devastating, all to common disease that affects generation after generation…infants, children and adults of all races. 16 human clinical trials are underway, many in the Boston area. They need more dollars to keep them afloat and you can help!
2009 will be even bigger and better with more kids’ activities including a Penny Kids Dash for kids 3 to 10 years old, Music, Great Prize Drawings from sports to restaurants, to sweets and flowers and overnight stays, Breakfast with fruit, pastry, bagels, granola bars, beverages and more, Goody bags with stuffers from local companies.
To register, learn more about PKD, or to donate without attending visit www.bostonwalk.org. www.pkdcure.org. call 1-800-PKD-CURE or email Bostonwalk@pkdcure.org.
PKD is a hereditary disease where cysts grow on the kidneys ultimately causing kidney failure and the resultant poisoning of the body. Currently, dialysis and transplantation are the only treatments. There is no Treatment or Cure! But when one is found, we will save the government billions in Medicare dollars.
Our Goal: No one feel the full effects of PKD.
