About Team Ethan

Meet Ethan Kranig.
He is the 9 year old son of Doug and Natalie, brother to Courtney and Wyatt. Ethan was born with a syndrome called Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia Clefting Syndrome (please refer to nfed.org for more information). This syndrome has affected his hands, feet, teeth, mouth, skin, hair and eyes. Ethan has overcome so much already with 29 surgeries and it has never slowed him down; he kept an amazing attitude through it all. Sadly, we did receive terrible news that will slow him down if we don't help him. Ethan was diagnosed with blindness in his right eye and over 55% of his left eye is covered by the white sclera cells that are growing over his pupil. We were referred by Mayo Clinic to see a specialist in Baltimore to cauterize the vessels in his eyes causing this cell overgrowth, and to be fitted with custom lenses that cover the whole globe of the eye. Without these interventions, Ethan will become totally blind. These lenses are not covered by insurance and cost $15,000 dollars.
