FOUNDATION FOCUS
Celebrating Our
39th Anniversary
T he PKD Foundation was founded
by Jared J. Grantham, M.D., and
Joseph H. Bruening on August 20,
1982, to fi nd treatments and a cure
for PKD. Their vision has been at
the heart of the Foundation's work
ever since. When they established
the Foundation, no one knew much
about PKD. The genes had not been
identifi ed, and few researchers were
working in PKD science.
Since then, the PKD Foundation has
invested more than $50 million in research,
making us the largest private funder of PKD
research. Over the past several years, we have
also increased our eff orts in advocacy, education,
awareness, and patient support. As we
approach our 39th anniversary in August, we
refl ect on the incredible strides we've made
toward ending PKD.
