Hello to all of our Friends and Family,

We have a unique way of getting the word out to all of you that so often ask how you can help with our life challenge. ARPKD/CHF has been and will continue to be the hand in hand disease processes that follow our lives. Our task is to educate the public on the hurdles that we face from the daily medications to the multiple medical treatments and surgeries that come with living with this disease process.

The ARPKD/CHF Alliance has done it's part in supplying us with this tool called firstgiving to have those that want to raise funds for research or to simply donate to be able to do so.

We are asking all of you to please help as you see fit.  If you are like most of us you always have that little voice that says I wish there was a simple way that I can help. Well if you know 100 people and they donate $5.00 each then you have just raised $500.00. It is as simple as that.

You can set up your own page and do what I have done, contact your friends and family and build your network. Every donation counts and all are so appreciated.

Together all of us make a difference and only with the help of a united group can we make an impact for a change and a cure.

We thank you for your participation and thanks to all that have been donating on an ongoing basis.

We love and appreciate you all.

Rosie and Shelby Bernardo
