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.

FOX2 in St. Louis has generously provided their August 3 story about mom and my efforts for PKD. The story can be viewed by following this weblink. Thank you Paul Schankman and the editors and photographers for seeing the story and helping us honor our family and those with PKD. My mother and I saw it for the first time tonight via Internet and are without words.
