Story



Hello! I am Brenda Conway, a co-coordinator of the Halifax Chapter of the PKDFOC. I was diagnosed with PKD in 2003 at the age of 33. I worked full time as a cardiovascular surgery RN. I am now 52 and have been on disability since 2015. My diagnosis was a shock as I didn’t know of anybody who had this disease, including any family members. My health has since been complicated with the diagnosis of Crohn’s and depression. When I was first diagnosed with PKD, there wasn’t much, if any, support or information on PKD. I felt alone with a newly diagnosed life-threatening condition. That all changed when I found the PKD Foundation of Canada. 

You can help me make an incredible impact in raising awareness and funds for critical PKD research! By making a personal donation your efforts will help strengthen the direct funding of the PKD Foundation of Canada's mission to promote programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness in order to discover treatments and cure for PKD and improve the lives of all it affects!
