Thank you for your interest in our Foundation
and our efforts to ease the burden of those
living with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS).
The Foundation has two primary purposes:
- Provide
funds to the medical facilities and personnel
that currently research KT and treat patients
with KT and
- Provide
KT patients and their families with much-needed
medical travel expense assistance.
Our
children with KT deserve the chance to be treated
by the very best vascular clinics and physicians.
Travel to these specialized clinics, however,
is very expensive.
KT
is a complex disease. One person living with
KT will likely have a different and unique experience
from someone else suffering from the same illness.
So it's a challenge to describe KT "in
a nutshell." We hope you'll use the links
here to gain a better understanding of Klippel-Trenaunay
Syndrome.
At
this site, you can also meet some of our children
who are effected by KT. And, you'll learn about
the clinics and physicians who specialize in
treating KT. Here you'll get the latest information
on the KT Foundation and its activities. Our
all-volunteer staff is hard at work! You can
find out how you can help - whether it's through
your contribution or by volunteering your time
to the KT Foundation.
The
KT Foundation believes that KTS is a puzzle
with many pieces: our children with KT, the
families, the hospitals, the vascular anomalies
clinics, the physicians and the contributions
to our cause. Each is an integral piece to the
KT puzzle. The Foundation's objective is to
put these pieces into place. Together, we
can solve the puzzle!!
Thank
you for your interest and for visiting this
site. We hope you'll come back often. You have
the potential to be our "biggest piece"
or - better yet - our final piece of the KT
puzzle.
