Why Research?
There are questions that need answers….
Does a ball hitting me put me at risk for damaging my body?
What happens to my blood pressure when I play basketball?
Is it safe for me to run and how hard can I run?
Can we develop a humanized mouse to research VEDS and other collagen diseases?
Wear Red on the 3rd Friday of May to raise awareness of VEDS
