"The most important thing to me is the kidney issue," Haggard said. He was diagnosed with PKD when he was much younger. The disease is progressive, creating anxiety for families.
"Both my children have a chance of getting the disease. Just as important, I've met hundreds of families that have been absolutely devastated by polycystic kidney disease."
"When I got transplanted, we realized there's not enough support for living donors. They are so important for a million reasons," he said, pointing to gaps in the transplant process.
Haggard's experience with PKD emphasized the need for greater awareness and support for those affected by the disease, motivating him to advocate for others.
