Barista donates kidney, PKD Clinical Trials and National Conference

Check out www.pkdcure.org for more information about Polycystic Kidney Disease

A Starbucks barista has served a customer with more than a morning cup of coffee... she has given her the gift of life!

When Susan Anderson learned that her regular customer Annmarie Ausnes was suffering from PKD, she decided to be tested as a potential donor. She was a match and on March 11th she donated a kidney to Ausnes. Both recovered well after the transplant. 

Under review.... Starbuck is considering a campaign called, A Penny for PKD. If you have any desire to help PKD research get in touch at www.pkdcure.org or www.charitynavigator.com
