The PKD charity provides information and support to patients and families affected by polycystic kidney disease, funds research into discovering possible treatments and raises awareness of PKD, providing information to patients, the public, the medical community and the media. This September kicks off with PKD Awareness Week (4th - 11th September 2022). A week dedicated to educating and inspiring our friends, families and communities to learn about the condition that around 70,000 people in the UK live with. You can play your part in helping to raise awareness of PKD by organising your own sponsored walk and fundraising for PKD Charity. By fundraising for us you will be helping to fund research into a cure for PKD. Kidney research is critically underfunded - in the UK, less than 1% of all health research funding goes to kidney research, and a fraction of that amount goes towards PKD research specifically. New treatments for PKD are needed now!
