Brian C. Weber Memorial Travel Fund

Brian C. Weber Memorial Travel Fund for families affected by KTS

The Brian C. Weber Memorial Travel Fund was established by the parents of Brian Weber to honor his courageous life. Brian died at the age of 38 on August 11, 2014. Brian lived his entire life with the complications associated with Klippel-Trenaunay and Parks-Weber Syndrome (KTS), a debilitating vascular condition that affects limbs, tissue and bone. For many years, Brian remained undiagnosed and suffered complications from inappropriate interventions. While accurate information about KTS is still not widely disseminated, there is more available everyday.

In honor of Brian’s life, a fund supported by Brian’s family and friends will be administered through the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation to assist families affected by KTS for travel expenses related to the diagnosis and/or treatment of KTS. We aim to enable sufferers to actively seek out experts who can help with early diagnosis and better management of their particular condition, and guide them through to a productive and fulfilling life.

Each award is limited to $500 per family and must be used towards travel to/from a provider or facility seeking a possible diagnosis and/or treatment for Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome.
