‘Spring Soiree in the Vineyard’ to fight kidney disease to be held at Vinoklet Winery

By Mark Fisher | Tuesday, April 5, 2011, 07:31 AM

I thought I’d share this news release about an event at a Cincinnati winery this Saturday:

DAYTON-CINCINNATI CHAPTER TO HOST INAUGURAL SPRING SOIREE IN THE VINEYARD TO RAISE FUNDS FOR GENETIC KIDNEY DISEASE

The Dayton-Cincinnati Chapter of the PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) Foundation will host the Inaugural Spring Soiree in the Vineyard, a fundraiser to benefit the PKD Foundation’s research program. This wine tasting event will be held at Vinoklet Winery in Cincinnati Ohio on Saturday, April 9, 2011, from 4-6 p.m. in the tasting room overlooking the vineyard. Guests will be able to taste a variety of award-winning wines produced by this vineyard and purchase bottles to take home. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Advance tickets may be purchased at: http://www.pkdcure.org/DaytonCincinnatiChapter.

PKD causes cysts to grow on the kidneys, eventually leading to kidney failure. It is the most common life-threatening genetic disease in the world, affecting 600,000 American children and adults. Patients with the disease have a 50 percent chance of passing it on to each of their children. There is no cure for PKD. Despite several decades of intense basic and clinical research, an effective treatment that alters the course of ADPKD has not been established. Dialysis and transplantation are the only current treatments.

The PKD Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting programs of research, education, support, advocacy and awareness in order to discover treatments and a cure for polycystic kidney disease and to improve the lives of all it affects. For more information about PKD and the PKD Foundation, visit www.pkdcure.org or call 800-PKD-CURE (800-753-2873).
