Our aims are high and we have a long way to go. We will need a great deal of help and support to make this Foundation successful. Please read our "support us" page and see what you can do to help.

Simply by reading through our site and passing on information about APS, you will be helping us with our message of awareness. Talk about it to friends, tell them to tell their friends; ask about it when you next visit your doctor, or your clinic. If they are unaware of APS, ask them to contact us. We are in the process of printing information brochures for the public; we will also have brochures for GP´s and other medical professionals. APS is reasonably simple to test for and treat successfully. But, until both the medical profession and the public alike are more aware of it signs and symptoms, the possibility of APS won´t even be thought of. We have many plans to get the message out to the media and hope that many of you will be hearing much more about APS soon. If you feel you can help us to raise awareness, help with sponsorship or funding, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Our Foundation aims to:

  • Create awareness among the medical profession and general public alike of the Antiphospholipid syndrome
  • Inform of steps you can take if you think that you, or someone you know, might be suffering from APS
  • Assist those with and without medical aids in obtaining diagnosis and treatment
  • Obtain funding and sponsorship for much needed research of APS
  • Raise funds to assist those without medical aids
  • Raise funds to assist us in our efforts of improving awareness
  • Create a support system for those diagnosed with APS or affected in any way by it
  • Create and maintain a database of those diagnosed with APS. This is essential to assist with research efforts in South Africa and throughout the rest of the world
  • Provide empowerment through knowledge and understanding of this condition
