2018 Phoenix Walk for PKD
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) causes multiple fluid-filled cysts to grow in the kidneys resulting in massive enlargement and eventually leading to kidney failure. PKD is the 4th leading cause of kidney failure. The average size of a healthy kidney is a human fist. Polycystic kidneys can get as large as a football, and weigh up to 30 pounds each. Parents have a 50 percent chance of passing PKD to each of their children. Unlike some genetic diseases, it does not skip a generation. The annual Walk for Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is our signature fundraising and awareness event and the largest gathering of PKD patients, families, friends and supporters. The funds raised through the Walk for PKD help us take strides towards reaching our goal to end PKD and ensure no one faces the disease alone. In 2018 more than 50 inspiring events will occur in cities across the nation. The Walk is a family-oriented event that honors and supports loved ones, creates a sense of community and provides hope for a better tomorrow. With your help, a treatment is within reach. Sign up your team and start your fundraising now. For more information contact Anne Brown phoenixwalk@pkdcure.org

Over the years, the race has hosted Olympic Gold medalists, American record holders and more first time race participants than any other event in the southwestern United States.
