Paul DeSchamp has taken the initiative to start a North-Eastern KDA Chapter - and has began the steps to plan and coordinate a Regional Chapter Meeting. 
 
What might be surprising to you is how many others live in your area with KD. We've done a count of our database.
 
In our database, we have the following information (there are probably others who haven't found or registered with the KDA.):
 
A total of  94 individuals in the North-Eastern States - and each one of these individuals may have others in their family with KD.
 
Connecticut - 5
Indiana - 11
Kentucky - 3
Massachusetts - 2
Maryland - 4
Maine - 1 (Sorry Paul!)
Michigan - 9
New Jersey -7
New York - 12
Ohio - 13
Pennsylvania - 18
Virginia - 6
West Virginia - 3
 
We hope you will support Paul in these efforts - its always great to share information with others with KD - I know we've learned a lot doing so!
