With a lot of help from the good folks here and elsewhere, Kathy surpassed her original (and admittedly low) fundraising goal of $2,000. She just updated her page today to thank everyone and raised her goal to $3,000. She put it this way: "Because, why not?"

Thanks for the bumps, BD, JP and Bathy (glad to see you got your stickers).
Kathy is killing it! After a very generous donation from her parents, she is just $200-some-odd away from her fundraising goal, and we've still got over a month before she takes her walk.
Kathy walks tomorrow. Thanks to everyone for their support.
If you haven't taken a look at her fundraising page yet, here it is. She has surpassed both her fundraising goals, a lot of it due to some very generous folks from this forum.
If you care to share the link on your social media pages or to sponsor her, there's still time to do so.
Awareness is key. PSC flies under the radar, which hurts its funding for research, etc.
I think she's going to take some pictures of her walk and post them to flickr or something. I'll share them here as well.
I just wanted to wish Kate, Dan and the kids all the best from My wife Evelina, our two boys and myself for your fundraiser tomorrow and the journey ever after. Kate's courageous story and efforts to help others with finding treatments and a cure (while raising the kids) immediately made me think of the song, Force of Nature.
Today, while I harvest some crops from our family garden Ill be thinking of you; especially when force of Nature make it way onto my earphones. Looking forward to seeing your pics. I know for sure you'll complete the walk...You have been training as hard as an Olympian. LOL..
Understand she's a Force of Nature...One man stands on the edge of the ocean...a beacon...awaiting for her to come home...love can keep us safe...All the strength...resolving.
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

The weather looks like it will be on her side.
Finally, remember, organ donations do save lives.
Good luck to Kathy, dankind. I hope the medical community is able to help her and others like her.

I think she said she's doing Instagram for the pictures. Her friend is coming over tonight to teach her how to use it or whatever social media platform she chooses. I'll keep y'all updated. Should be fun!
Maybe I'll post one of me getting steamrolled by our three-year-old daughter and nine-month-old son while Kathy is out gallivanting around town.
She's didn't get to take her Battery to Cloisters walk before we moved from Brooklyn, but I think she'll still try to do it next summer or maybe one up here. (She is doing a 5K on Sunday to raise awareness about pediatric epilepsy.)
My husband (and his siblings) has PKD, plus cysts on the liver. Not the same but oh how I can relate to the goddammit what can I DO feeling, and being willing to trade anything if able to rid someone you love of their pain.
Thanks for bumping this, dankind; it's so worthy. Good thoughts that your wife, your family, are doing well.
And go Ditka!
By the way, the original link doesn't seem to work anymore; I hope that's a good thing for you both

Her walk is getting close, and she's almost at her fundraising goal -- thanks to a lot of you fine folks!

Thinking of your wife today and wishing her the best. That last picture made me laugh out loud.
This community fucking rocks
At any rate, I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'm bumping this one to once again thank all who donated and bumped, and to report that Mike Ditka has joined the fight (http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/10/01/ditka-helping-effort-to-cure-liver-disease-that-killed-walter-payton). Any awareness raised about this disease is a good thing. It's rareness keeps it lower on the list for research funding to find a cure.
