In 2006 September 11, Kenneth Weal was diagnosed with a illness called Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), class V lupus glomerulonephritis with Nephritic syndrome at the age of sixteen. Systemic lupus affected his kidneys which caused him to have kidney disease. It got worst because it turned into Stage 3 kidney disease, which almost killed him. Most
people don't live
long with this illness
In January 2007, Ken was released from the hospital. He spent 1 week in
October, 3 days in November and then 3 weeks in December/January (missing family
birthday celebrations, Christmas
Eve, Christmas
Day, New Years
Eve and and New Years
Day) – while Ken was in the hospital for those weeks, he was also diagnosed with High Blood Pressure & Diabetes because he was on so much medication just to keep the lupus stable.He just had a name but he wanted a logo to represent his life and his business. Ken came up with 2 ideas on using an eagle and a crown The crown on the eagles head represents That Kenneth Weal is the
king of his sickness ,he doesn’t allow the illness to run his life. The letters KW on the crown represents His initials/KenWeal. The 6 diamonds on the KenWeal crown represents the age 16 when he was diagnosed with systemic lupus and kidney disease. The eagle represents: Strength to soar and Kenneth sees himself soaring as a child of God.
doctors told KenWeal that he had a 70 percent chance of dying… give God the glory and smile.” After his mother told him that he was
stuck and shocked because he did not know that. To this
day, Kenneth is grateful that his mother Kenneth is grateful that his mother did not share that information with him when he was in the hospital because he would have gave up. When he snapped out of being shocked, he said “God left me on
earth for a reason… When Kenneth said that a couple of seconds
later, he heard a
small still voice say “Get back to designing.”Years
later, KenWeal is still growing and Kenneth is healed from high blood pressure, diabetes and Stage 3 kidney disease. Kenneth Weal sees himself as a symbol of hope and example of God’s incredible power.
