Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a serious health threat to people and their pets. PKD is actually the most common of all life-threatening human genetic diseases, more common than ALL the following diseases COMBINED:
· Down syndrome
· Cystic fibrosis
· Muscular dystrophy
· Hemophilia
· Huntington's disease
· Sickle cell anemia
· Multiple sclerosis.
You can learn more at the PKD website, including information about the Faske Family Walk to be held at TY Park, 3300 N Park Road, Hollywood, FL. You’ll find forms to Register or to Join or Form a Team. You can take leashed pets on most PKD walks, so be sure to bring yours to the Faske Family Walk. For more information, call 954 816 8269.
If Hollywood, Florida, is out of your way--more's the pity--you'll be able to find a walk in your area, or you can find information on making a contribution. Contributions to PKD walks are tax deductible.
