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.

If you have questions, email us at ktfoundation@earthlink.net. You'll get a prompt response!

Our Mission

The KT Foundation is a group of volunteer advocates for those afflicted with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS.) The Foundation is a working center providing the latest medical news on KTS, an up-to-date list of specialists and accurate information to support individuals with KTS. We strive to support medical research and make options for travel expense assistance available to KTS patients who need medical care from facilities that
specialize in treating this disease.

The KT Foundation will act as a database to ensure that patients are contacted for research projects and clinical trials. We use the information we gather to support and educate patients and any interested parties wanting to learn more about Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.

On the Turning Away
( David Gilmour, Anthony Moore)

(Chorus)
No more turning away from the weak and the weary. No more turning away from the coldness inside.

Just a world that we all must share. It's not enough just to stand and stare.

Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
