Thank you to all who attended and fundraised for the Chicago Walk for PKD! While we’ve made great progress, we haven’t yet reached our goal of $35,000. With your help, we can get there.

Donations for the Walk for PKD are accepted through December 31, 2025, and this upcoming season of giving is the perfect time to reach your personal fundraising goal!

Here’s how you can help:
📲 Send a quick email or text to friends and family with your fundraising link.
💬 Share your story on social media and tell others why you walk.
🎁 Ask for donations in lieu of gifts this holiday season.
🤝 Match donations or check if your employer offers a match.

Every gift brings us closer to a future without PKD. Thank you for your continued support and generosity!

Our Chicago Walk for PKD Ambassador’s research was recently highlighted by the PKD Foundation! This is a powerful reminder of where the money we raise goes—directly supporting research that drives progress, hope, and a future without PKD.

Every step we take and every dollar we raise helps fuel discoveries like these.
