Hi,

My name is Kristin. I am the President and Founder of the PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) Foundation. I started the foundation in 2013 when I was diagnosed with cancer and later a PTEN gene mutation. I lost my Mom and several friends to this syndrome; I also have a child affected. We need greater awareness of our cancer syndrome and I love a challenge so I decided to go BIG and raise PTEN awareness. I always tell our community that the climb is daunting but one step at a time we will see a treatment for PHTS. I will climb this mountain and waive our PTEN flag at the top on Rare Disease Day. I am fundraising to cover a portion of the trip and for much-needed PTEN research funding. I welcome sponsors of the trip and 100% of sponsorship funding will go to PTEN research.

Thank you for your support and for following me as I prepare for this amazing journey!

#PTENStrong

Love,

Kristin
