I have decided that instead of a regular contest I am going to have a Charity Auction for my son's cause. Every September we join in the Boston PKD walk. This is to help fight PKD and help raise money to find a cure for the disease. PKD is Polycystic Kidney Disease. My son has ARPKD (Autosomal recessive, is a relatively rare genetic disorder), which means that my husband and I (unbeknownst to use at the time), both happen to carry the gene. The odds are rare that we would marry and have children, but knowing what we do know with the complications of his birth and treatment since we have had the opportunity to learn about a disease we had no idea even existed.
There is currently NO treatment and NO cure for PKD, but there are more researchers, clinical trials and people pulling together to fight this disease than ever before. There is hope – hope for a treatment, hope for a cure, hope for a long and happy life despite PKD.

Hi Bookie, Pls excuse an old lady for her stupidity. I have been waiting on an email re: the donation for Team Porter. My linksy or whatever? is not working properly so my lap top is not being used. Instead I have my pc which is 6 yrs old and slower than molasses in Dec.
July 22, 2010 5:17 PMAny way. I decided to ck today to see what the problem was and when I re-read you info saw a link to the donate button. I have now made my donation to Team Porter and so sorry for the stupid error.
I will be pulling for Team Porter..
