About
The Walk for PKD is the largest polycystic kidney disease (PKD) fundraising and awareness event that is held coast to coast. Walk events will take place nationwide in September and October, with donations fueling critical research and improving the lives of those affected by PKD.
A cure is our finish line. Since 2000, the Walk has raised over $36M for the PKD Foundation to help improve the lives of those living with PKD. The event brings together patients, caregivers, physicians, and researchers to strengthen the PKD community and help fund life-saving research.
We’re excited to gather across the nation, and with our Walk for PKD —Your Way experience, everyone can be a part of our vision to end PKD.
