In this episode of the podcast we speak to Valen Keefer, a professional speaker and patient advocate who was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD) at age 10. Valen has faced a number of challenges in her journey, including a double organ transplant, and now inspires other PKD and chronic illness patients by sharing her story.
