Make your special day a reason to make a difference to the future of those affected by PKD, one of the leading causes of kidney failure. Birthdays, weddings and graduations are all a cause for celebration! If you still want to celebrate with your friends and family but gifts aren’t your thing, simply ask your loved ones to make a donation to PKD Australia in support of PKD research instead.

You can create your very own “In Celebration” page that you can personalise and share with your family and friends so they can make donations simply, and online. It is easy to create and is a special way to support research into treatments and a cure for PKD.

At PKD Australia we know how precious time is with our loved ones and understand how it feels to lose someone close due to PKD, a leading cause of kidney failure.

Donating in memory of a loved one is a very special way of honouring them, and many families find some comfort in raising funds for medical research into treatments and ultimately a cure for PKD. Donating in memory makes a lasting difference.

Ways you can make a gift in memory

1) Gifts at Funerals in Lieu of flowers

If you would like to invite friends and family to donate to PKD Australia in lieu of flowers, you may wish to include this request or one similar in your loved one’s funeral notice: “In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in memory of …………………… to PKD Australia Limited (PKD Australia), P.O. Box 20, Roseville, NSW 2069” You can ask your funeral director to contact or you can contact Judi Cornell by email: knowledge@pkdaustralia.org to arrange for PKD Australia “In Loving Memory” envelopes to be available at the funeral.

2) An Online Tribute Page

You can create your own “In Memory” page that you can personalise and share with your family and friends so they can make donations simply, and online. It is simple to create and is a special way to commemorate your loved one and allows family, friends and colleagues to leave a personal message of love and support on the page with their online donation.

This tax time, we ask you to make a donation to support PKD research grants.
