Bride-to-Be Walks and Raises Money to End Life-Threatening, Genetic Kidney Disease
Join Kristen McAllister as she takes part in the North Texas Walk for PKD: Saturday, Sept. 26 at Rustin City Park in Southlake Town Square.
(Southlake, Tex.) Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2009 – Kristen McAllister is one of 600,000 Americans and 12.5 million worldwide – including more than 50 in Southlake alone – affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
PKD is one of the world’s most common, life-threatening genetic diseases, often causing kidney failure and death. Kristen was working on a cruise ship in Hawaii when the ship’s doctor discovered she had unusually high blood pressure for a 23-year-old. She was sent home to figure out her medical problems. It was then that doctors diagnosed Kristen with PKD. “I thought to myself, I am 23 and I have kidney disease – my life is over,’” Kristen said. After months of depression, she decided to start a new life with the help of her mother and her fiancé, Bryan. Kristen is now living in Amarillo and plans to attend college. She knows it is easy to be negative, but she tries her best to stay positive and overcome PKD.
That’s why she’s fighting back and encouraging her North Texas area to join her by registering and raising money for the Walk for PKD, the PKD Foundation’s signature fundraising event taking place this fall in 60 cities across the country.

In gratitude to Hannah for her donation to CEF, she will receive a $1,000 scholarship the year that she graduates. Hannah’s artwork will be placed on the Live Auction and all of the proceeds from this sale will go back to the art department at CISD. Last year, the art department received $1,500 from the sale of the artwork on the live auction.
Hannah’s enjoys painting, practicing photography, cooking, scrapbooking and journaling. She hopes to attend The Oklahoma University, once she graduates, and major in Visual Communications with a minor in English or French.
