Story

As many of you will know I have Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and am now at the stage where I need a transplant.

This September mum and I are taking part in walk for PKD and are walking the Great Glen Way - 79 miles from Fort William to Inverness.

Around 70,000 people in the UK live with PKD, one of the most common hereditary conditions that can lead to kidney failure and affect other organs.

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.

Please support us if you can, any amount you can give would be very gratefully received.

Thank you

Elaine & Kathy
