We are raising money for the PKD charity in memory of our 2nd son Harrison who i sadly lost at 26 weeks pregnant. Harrison was already at peace when he join us in this world. He will be sadly missed and we would like to keep his name alive by bringing awareness of this disease. We hope that the money we raise will be benificial to other unfortunate families and research into determining the causes of PKD,discovering treatments and hopefully one day a cure .

PKD is an abbreviation for POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE, an inherited range of diseases which are a common cause of kidney failure. PKD is present in two forms:

ADPKD - AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE, the world’s most common inherited life-threatening condition, in which fluid-filled cysts develop in both kidneys. Between 1 in 800 and 1 in 1000 people worldwide suffer from ADPKD. Over half of those affected will have kidney failure by the time they are 60 years old. If someone has ADPKD, there is a 50% likelihood that the disease will pass to each child.

ARPKD - AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE occurs in children and results in enlarged kidneys with or without cysts, liver enlargement and often high blood pressure. In ARPKD, sadly, 30% to 50% of ARPKD infants die at birth or shortly thereafter, primarily as the result of underdeveloped lungs.
