About Us
OUR STORY
Deveraux Hubbard II died on December 16, 2013 from a pulmonary embolism caused by a blood clot. He was a 19 year old sophomore at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL and an Eagle Scout of Boy Scout Troop 219.
The goal of the Deveraux Hubbard II Foundation is to provide education and public awareness about the risks of blood clots and clotting disorders.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein located deep inside your body. A blood clot is a clump of blood that is in a gelatinous, solid state. Deep vein blood clots typically form in your thigh or lower leg, but they can also develop in other areas of your body. Other names for this condition include thromboembolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, and post-phlebitic syndrome
“There are too many people potentially who will die from a blood clot because they didn’t have the information. We want to reduce that number.”
