Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is the leading cause of kidney failure for people under 50. It affects over 600,000 people in the US, with a 50% chance of being passed down to each child of a PKD impacted parent.

PKD impacted families can prevent the disease from being passed down to future generations with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-M), the same proven technology that is already being used to prevent BRCA and Tay-Sachs, however the medical community is largely unaware that this same solution can be used to end PKD.

Rich’s family has been deeply impacted by PKD and Rich founded PKD-Free to create the patient activism and resources necessary to change this.

Your support helps to fund:

  • PKD Free Babies campaign to help families end PKD in the next generation and support generational health

  • Greater awareness and access to assisted reproductive technologies to help PKD-impacted families end PKD in their families
