An opportunity for a mother and son to do something special for Polycystic Kidney Disease, for organ donation and for us.
In 1806, Zebulon Pike traveled west and sighted Pikes Peak. We biked 990 miles along his route and then ran the Pikes Peak Marathon. We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise PKD awareness. PKD caused the failure of Pat’s kidneys. A transplant saved her life eight years ago. Pat’s brothers, sisters and mother were afflicted with PKD, seven in all. Pat describes how PKD affected her life and televised news features are in the "News Coverage" link on the left margin.

PKD Progress Magazine is sent to PKD patients, physicians and research scientists. Friends and contributors to the PKD Foundation also receive the high-quality glossy magazine. The Summer 2006 issue arrived today and on page 15 is the Ride To Pikes Peak. Kara Cowie of the PKD Foundation wrote an excellent summary and a photograph of three generations of Pokornys from the 2001 Indianapolis Half Marathon was included.
