Ken became involved with 1p36 Deletion Support & Awareness shortly after the 2008 Conference in Boston, MA. He and other families became very aware that the 1p36 Deletion Syndrome community needed a non profit organization to be able to raise money and further continue to support the families and caregivers of those affected by 1p36 Deletion Syndrome.
