PKD at the Boston Marathon
I was at the Boston Marathon Expo with my new RTPP shirt. A young woman with her kids in a stroller stopped me. She's run marathons but had come to watch her husband race.
"When is the Ride To Pikes Peak?" she asked. "I know about the PKD walks but I haven't heard of it."
I explained that we created RTPP to raise awareness for PKD research and organ donors. She told me how PKD is in her family and her mother received a kidney transplant a few years ago and is doing well.
I couldn't help but ask, "Do you have PKD?" She does.
America, we need medical research to find some effective treatment for PKD besides organ transplants.
At the expo I stopped in an Adidas booth and recorded this video about why I run. Adidas posted it on the web. Follow this link to Reasons To Run. The 10 second video, #1395, is on the cover page.
