Team Teddy Bear
Team Teddy Bear is the team our family has formed for the annual Walk for PKD. I initially created this blog as a way to track our fundraising progress, but have since expanded it to share our experience with Polycystic Kidney Disease and just about anything else going on in our lives. First time visitors may wish to read Our PKD Story which relates our personal experience with PKD. Please do feel free to leave a comment on anything - even just a quick hello letting us know you stopped by.
