The pkDO Advocates Network
Donate to our network today to ensure that families with polycystic kidney disease (“PKD”) have a path to manage the onset of symptoms today, delay the disease’s progression tomorrow, and eliminate it for future generations.
Kellner Family (Founder, pkDO)
My wife Jo had it and I donated a kidney to her in 2014. Her mother had two kidney transplants. Her sister has it and is on dialysis. Now, our two children and nephew have it.
Patterson Family
On Halloween 2019 I received the call of a lifetime. It was my transplant coordinator from University of Utah telling me I was going to finally get a transplant from an anonymous donor named Sheryce.
Amy Leininger
I learned about my recipient’s kidney disease via Instagram and saw she was in serious need of a kidney donor. My heart immediately told me I was going to help my friend who was someone that I truly respected for her bravery and courage.
Meyer Family
I am a teacher in Rye, NY married to my wife Lauren and have 2 small children, Liam (5) and Ellie (2). I am so blessed that my wife and I successfully went through the process of PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) and with a team of wonderful doctors we have our amazing son who is PKD free.
