This non-profit organization works for the advancement of pediatric kidney
research. Casey Lee Ball, third son of Sterling Ball, was diagnosed with
polycystic kidney disease at age two. At age five, while Casey and Sterling
were recuperating from kidney transplant surgery, they decided to create the
Casey Lee Ball Foundation. As a result of their timeless efforts over the
last six years, several new medicines have made it to the market in record
time and are helping to reduce the side effects of kidney transplant
medications.
