I got a call from one of the news channels today asking if I would agree to a news story on PKD and the transplant to increase awareness for the necessity of organ donors.  My kidney came from a friend, which I guess is not very common.  I am so happy to be able to get some publicity for PKD and organ donation!  It is much needed!

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to get the word out about what it is like for you. I hope it goes well. Maybe you can post the article.
