I first met Tess in person at the first course for the PKD telephone support line. I remember her smile and enthusiasm. She was empathetic, interested and engaged when listening to my PKD story. I gained so much strength from that course. I was recently post transplant and felt empowered to find out more and do something, even a little, to support others due to the course and Tess’s example. She was so knowledgeable of the condition, research and medication and an advocate for raising awareness of PKD and support for those affected by it. She was very much the face of the PKD charity. She seemed to be everywhere! At Publicity, research, fund raising, transplant games - there was Tess and Tess’s smile! 😊 The charity and in particular the PKD Facebook pages carries her legacy of support, knowledge, empowerment - and a friendly face. She will be missed. xxx
