Kawasaki Disease Canada brings you KD Photo; an app that allows you to enhance new or existing photos in order to raise awareness of Kawasaki disease. Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in North America. It is an acute illness that causes inflammation in the walls of blood vessels throughout the body, including the coronary arteries which supply blood to the heart. Use the app, post your photos and spread the word.
Kawasaki Disease Canada was incorporated under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act in May, 2014. In December 2015, Kawasaki Disease Canada became registered as a national charity.
Kawasaki Disease Canada’s mission is to promote awareness and education about Kawasaki disease, support individuals and family members affected by the disease, and advance research into the disease and its consequences. Our vision is a world free of Kawasaki disease.
