This is a petition to support the creation of a PKD
Day in New York on March 4. Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), affects 1 in every 500 people, regardless of their age, ethnicity, sex or where they live. It is the most common of all life-threatening genetic diseases. Half of those diagnosed with PKD need dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.
Currently there is no cure for PKD and a lack of awareness about this disease puts people at risk. Proclaiming March 4 to be Polycystic Kidney Disease Day will certainly raise this awareness and encourage more funding for a much needed cure.

My brother has this and it is a total nightmare. Doctors act like it is nothing but it really ruins lives. We need this day.
