Hello Everyone! My name is Lauren Henson and I am new to the site! I do not have CKD but I work for the PKD Foundation, in marketing. So hopefully, I am getting the word out about about PKD and also CKD! I enjoy hearing about peoples experiences and sharing them with others, especially those in the media!

Besides that, I like to run and go to the gym, socialize with friends and family, travel, SNOW SKI, water ski, go boating, go shopping....!

I would love to learn about people's stories with PKD. If you have questions, concerns, need resources, etc- feel free to message me!!!
