* have or had DVT/PE and are looking for support, understanding, and resources
* have a blood disorder, (such as Factor V Leiden), that may increase the risk of developing a DVT
* are currently taking anti-coagulants
* have family members or friends with DVT/PE
* want to learn more about DVT and PE
