“I think the Foundation is something that I hope will be my legacy.”
-Dr. Reed Pyeritz

At the request of the Pyeritz family, the Marfan Foundation is honored to accept gifts in memory of our beloved co-Founder, Dr. Reed Pyeritz. Reed’s extraordinary vision, compassion, and lifelong commitment helped build this Foundation and transformed the lives of generations of people with Marfan syndrome and related genetic aortic and vascular conditions. Memorial gifts will carry Reed’s legacy forward by supporting the community he cared for so deeply and advancing the science, education, and support that were at the heart of his life’s work. We are profoundly grateful to Reed’s wife, Jane, and the entire Pyeritz family for inviting those who loved and admired him to honor his remarkable life in this meaningful way.
