The PKD Foundation of Canada leads the national fight against polycystic kidney disease (PKD) through research programs, education, awareness and support to help discover vital treatments for PKD and improve the lives of all those it affects. Since its creation in 1993, the PKD Foundation of Canada has raised more than $1 million towards research, support and help for families living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD). From the first research grant awarded in 1999, the PKD Foundation of Canada has set up chapters and support groups across the country, built an expansive and passionate volunteer network, and connected with PKD groups around the world to support our most notable fundraising event – the Walk to END PKD.
