What an opportunity we've been given

With the help of so many friends (many you see in Photo Gallery) we are trying to make a difference for PKD. What we've accomplished is because others believe in what we're trying to do. This morning as we stood on the Missouri River bluff it was overwhelming to think about the things that people have done to help us succeed, their faith and trust that we should go for it. We're very grateful. It was chaotic with FOX2 live coverage this morning and I didn't get to thank our Vicar, Jason, properly for a wonderful prayer. With the hope of God's blessing we attempt this.

Mom is an awesome spokesperson for living with PKD. Just listen to an interview or watch a video clip in the NEWS Coverage. Her witness to the impact of PKD on the lives of Americans and her example of the courage of people to "live their lives" despite the diagnosis.
