As the year winds down, we want to take a moment to thank you - really thank you.

Whether you donated, volunteered, shared our mission, or simply cheered us on, you’ve been part of something special this year. You’ve shown individuals and families affected by polycystic kidney disease that they’re not alone. That progress is possible. That hope is real.

Because of you, we accomplished so much in 2024:

1. More patients connected with specialists, resources, and support they needed.
2. Awareness grown, from city proclamations to brighter conversations about kidney donation.
3. Research pushed forward, unlocking new possibilities for better treatments.

And now? We’re ready for even more. In 2025, we’re:

1. Building an online PKD community - a space for connection, understanding, support, trusted resources, and up-to-date info about PKD research.
2. Teaming up with our partners to amplify our advocacy - speaking up louder and stronger for PKD patients, and raising awareness about the life-changing gift of kidney donation.
3. Easing stress for those facing end-stage renal failure, through support programs and shared resources to lighten the load during such a challenging time.
4. Developing simple, easy-to-use tools to take the guesswork out of meal planning for people living with PKD, helping them eat well and feel their best.
5. Honouring our loved ones affected by PKD by supporting the next generation of kidney specialists, ensuring better care and brighter futures for our community. (Learn more.)
6. Creating practical tools to help PKD patients feel confident and prepared when talking to their doctors, making it easier to ask important questions and get the answers they need on their PKD journey.

These aren’t just “programs.” They’re lifelines. They’re hope for people like you, or someone you care about. And none of this happens without you.

If you’re able, we would be incredibly grateful for your year-end donation. Your gift - no matter the size - helps us start strong in 2025. It fuels the research, support, and advocacy that make life better for those facing PKD.
