February is Marfan Awareness Month. As Marfan Syndrome is quite rare many people
have not heard of this condition. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that
affects the body’s connective tissue. It affects the heart and blood vessels,
the bones and the eyes. Knowing the signs is the key to early and accurate
diagnosis and life-saving treatment.
Please take a moment to learn about Marfan Syndrome, find
ways to help the cause and join us in celebrating the wonderful people in our
lives affected by Marfan Syndrome. We
will be holding our next school wide fundraiser walk for Marfan Syndrome this Friday, February 28. Please join us in wearing red on Friday to show our support. We are hoping children will bring in $1
donation (or more if they want) for this worthwhile cause. All donations will go directly to the Marfan Foundation on behalf of
Clough school.
Below are some great
sights and videos to check out.
