The TKO Strong Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Malverne, NY, dedicated to improving the lives of individuals diagnosed with Microvillus Inclusion Disease (MVID). Founded by Tom and Melissa Onorato after their son was diagnosed with MVID, the foundation aims to raise funds for cutting-edge research, promote awareness about MVID, and provide support to affected families.
MVID is a rare genetic disease that causes intestinal failure, leading to the inability to absorb nutrition and maintain hydration. Currently, the only treatment option is intravenous feeding. The foundation's mission is to bridge the gap between patients, researchers, and physicians to develop effective treatment options and ultimately find a cure for MVID, with the vision of greatly improving the quality of life for those affected by this devastating condition.
