Project Title: Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) Foundation Scientific Meeting & Patient Advocacy Summit
Project Description:

The Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) Foundation is eager to partner with you for the upcoming international Patient Advocacy Summit in Orlando, Florida July 19-22, 2023. The mission of the Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Foundation is, “to educate, increase awareness, and promote research for the support and enrichment of individuals living with KdVS and their families.” The Foundation is run 100% by volunteers.
KdVS is one of nearly 11,000 rare diseases in the
world. KdVS was only identified in 2006 by Dr. Koolen and Dr. de Vries. KdVS is a rare genetic condition caused by a microdeletion or mutation on chromosome 17 (the KANSL1 gene) which occurs randomly during fetal development. Individuals with KdVS, suffer from developmental delays and a wide array of health issues, including feeding issues, epilepsy, heart/respiratory abnormalities, kidney problems, brain malformations, low muscle tone, and speech issues. As a result of KdVS, individuals experience a range of mental, physical, and cognitive challenges and disabilities.
The Scientific Meeting and Summit will bring together an expected 500 participants from around the world to Orlando, Florida, USA. Central to the gathering will be a unique opportunity to learn, collaborate, and support patients and their families, and conduct clinical studies to further research initiatives. In addition to Drs. Koolen and de Vries from the Netherlands, the Summit will include Dr. Ken Myers (pediatric epileptologist) from Canada, Dr. Nael Kasri (neuroscientist), Dr. Angela Morgan (pediatric speech pathologist) from Australia, Dr. Helen Willsey (neurobiologist) from California, Dr. Victor Faundez (cell biologist) from Georgia.
The Summit will feature keynote presentations, specialist panels, and various breakout sessions. Families and caregivers will directly benefit from conventional and reimagined interventions from other KdVS families.

Project Title: LifeCamp
Project Description:

LifeCampUSA guides young men who are left in the aftermath of losing a father while serving in the United States military or law enforcement service on a path toward Biblical fortitude, personal resilience, and restorative healing so that they may live up to their full potential and become community leaders through service. At this critically formative stage of establishing their identity, values, attributes, and goals, these sons are left to navigate life without the crucial aid of a father. Whether their father was killed in action, a training accident, or suicide, we seek to walk alongside these young men to guide them where they are at now, in life’s toughest moments and beyond.
LifeCampUSA invites middle school sons of fatherless veteran families on a week-long adventure camp where each receives one-to-one mentorship. While we cannot replace their father, our mentors aim to provide guidance and truth to each student, so that each can successfully engage the confusing world around them and meaningfully impact the communities where they live.
LifeCampers will spend six days adventuring in the remote outdoors at vetted Christian ministry camps building cohesion with other young men sharing the same loss. As a small team of ten middle school sons, they will be guided by a ten-person hand-selected mentor team comprised of committed bible believing Christian civilians and active duty or veteran Military or Law enforcement personnel; all of whom are 30 years old or above and are deeply committed to continually growing as a man of integrity and character.
After camp, LifeCampers engage in purposeful monthly remote devotionals and mentorship with LifeCampUSA mentors for 12-months following camp while our full-time Chaplain staff leads and connects campers/families to select ministry partners in their local areas of residence to support their ongoing spiritual growth.
