Marfan Trust Silent Auction 2020

The Covid-19 situation has disrupted many supporter led events that in turn has affected our finances. We now more than ever need your help in ensuring the Trust continues to provide support, research and educational literature to those affected by this debilitating disorder. Your support is crucial in helping us bridge the financial gap that has materialised due to Coronavirus.

The Marfan Trust is the only Marfan charity in the UK that funds its own laboratory undertaking medical and analytical research so that more is known about Marfan syndrome and its management. The results of our internationally recognised research enable doctors and surgeons to provide better treatment for patients in the short and long term. Over 18,000 people are affected by Marfan syndrome in the UK, with many more anticipated to be living with the condition undiagnosed. Our important work hopes to improve the treatment of patients and increase awareness of this condition.
