Act Now, Save A Life
The Sonalee Laboratory is the beating heart of the Marfan Trust.
In moving to its new, larger home, the Marfan Trust can continue its precious research into Marfan syndrome. But it is desperate need of help. As a niche charity supporting a niche condition, we are struggling in this uniquely difficult period. We are launching an appeal of £5,000 and hope you are able to support us in continuing our ground breaking research. Without this additional funding, the Trust’s research risks grinding to a halt. Please help by donating to us now.
