The PKD Foundation of Canada and The Kidney Foundation are teaming up for a powerful day of action, awareness, and connection. 
10:00 AM – Welcome & Opening Remarks
Hear from both foundations, local advocates, and community voices as we set the tone for a meaningful day.
11:00 AM – Kidney Walk
Take a symbolic walk along the waterfront in solidarity with patients, caregivers, and transplant recipients. Ends by noon.
12:00 PM – PKD Luncheon
Gather for a casual, kidney-friendly catered lunch with the opportunity to meet PKD patients, living kidney donors, transplant recipients, and healthcare advocates. (Please note: there will be no formal seating or tables — this is a connection-focused, picnic-style lunch.)

We’re proud to partner with the Kidney Foundation of Canada to create a united event experience in Halifax this year. While we’ll walk side by side, each organization is fundraising independently to support our unique missions and the communities we serve.

🎯 Our goal? To raise $10,000 dedicated to supporting PKD patient programs and to fund PKD-specific medical research in 2026. 

The Walk to END PKD is a beloved tradition that has been a beacon of hope for the PKD Foundation of Canada since 2007, raising over $2,655,000 to date. With each passing year, our excitement grows as we welcome our community to unite with us in our relentless pursuit of a cure for polycystic kidney disease (PKD)!

For 2025 we're planning walks in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Guelph and Calgary. Registration is now open!

Help us make a difference!

• Help us plan one of this year's walks!

• Reach out to local businesses for support

Your involvement is crucial in raising awareness and funds to fight PKD.

"I got involved with the PKD Foundation of Canada because I promised my father that I was going to help find a cure. When the doctors told me that there was nothing to do about PKD and the future of the patients. I told them I disagreed." - Luisa, Montreal
