The PKD Foundation of Canada chapters and the volunteers who lead them are the backbone of the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) community.

As a grassroots non-profit organization, the PKD Foundation of Canada prides itself in keeping administration costs low and impact high. In order to do this, we count on volunteers every day to help drive vital programs and awareness around Canada.

PKD Awareness Day Video Challenge!

The Ottawa Chapter is looking to find members or family members who are supporting those with PKD to share their PKD stories on social media. We are proposing a 2 minute video with just you and the camera talking about your journey with PKD or how or what you would like to bring more attention to this disease.
