Journey To Success

With March being National Kidney Month, PKD Foundation of Canada Executive Director, Jeff Robertson, and volunteer Toronto Chapter Coordinator, Matan Volach joined Napoleon Hill Foundation Certified Instructor and Resiliency Expert Tom Cunningham (too tall) to discuss the Foundation and the work they do. The PKD Foundation of Canada is the only national organization solely dedicated to raising funds and awareness for polycystic kidney disease, or PKD.  The mission of the Foundation is to promote programs of research, advocacy, education, support and awareness, in order to discover treatments and an eventual cure for this often devastating disease. Both Jeff and Matan have personal ties to this hereditary disease, which serves as their fuel in the fight to end PKD.  Polycystic kidney disease (PKD for short) is a genetic disease that causes fluid filled cysts to attack the affected organ; predominantly the kidney.    Approximately 1 in 500 – 1000 people are affected by PKD, and there is currently no cure.
