[sahmnancy]

I am a PKD survivor. My husband gave me a kidney. My father died 3 months after his transplant after 3.5 years on hemodialysis. My brother awaits a kidney as does my cousin. My daughter and another cousin have this. THANK YOU for helping increase awareness! DFTBA!!!

You're right, I hadn't heard of this disease before now. Great awareness video! :)

[WannabeBallerina]

@MarisPallitax1 Thank you. DFTBA!

[1DodgerDog1]

its a nice video, but you should really try to give more info... i was very frustrated by the end, not really knowing what you feel we should be doing to help people with PKD.

[WannabeBallerina]

@1DodgerDog1 Thanks for your comment. I take your point. The only things we can really do to help are regularly give blood, become organ donors and donate money to researching a cure. I didn't want to make the video too long and the main point was to raise awareness about what it is as so many people haven't heard of it.
