I am announcing it here first  :secret; - my 2008 Walk for PKD team website launched today! 

I hope you will visit and support us if you can.  Every donation will bring us a little closer to our goal.  Last year our team had over 400 supporters and we were able to raise over $20,000.  We started with a goal of $1,000, so our success is proof that miracles can happen.  Setting a goal of $20,000 is incredibly scary, but we have to try. 

I want a cure for all of you in the IHD family that have PKD and for all of our kids and grandkids who might otherwise be dealing with ESRD in the future.  The research to date has been promising and there are treatment drugs in trials.  This is a time to be optimistic.

Here's the link:

Thanks!  Linda

and I got a T-shirt from the walk
and it was made for the Lone Star State---- Texas
and the right size
and my husband saw it and said he wanted to wear it to work on T-shirt day
he coaches and teaches health
and thanks for the cd
can I have your husband's autograph and something of his to sell on ebay?  he is going to be a star
thanks , Pelagia, that was so nice and right after my Scott was born
I love everything and thanks
wish I had this cd when I was teaching
I like to type the words to songs and have my students read of sing with the words
that helped their reading
and sometimes like in "Hey Now you're a superstar" they would write about litereal and figurative
well, if I get a kidney and go back to teaching, I'll get your husbands permission to use the words 8)
thanks again, that was cool
