"My
Dad, Clell Deaton, died of complications from PKD at the age of 55 in
1991, while waiting for a donor.
My brother, Ken, has
fortunately had his
Life saved from PKD through the generous donation of a kidney from a
living donor.
PKD has
impacted the lives
of those I love and I want to help support the search for a cure for
this Disease.” – Brad Deaton
