HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – Local 10 is Walking for Victory in 2024. Several members of our staff will be participating in the seventh annual Marfan Foundation walk, taking place Jan. 28 at T.Y. Park in Hollywood.
Marfan is a genetic condition that affects the body’s connective tissue. Connective tissue holds all of the organs, cells and tissues together. Because connective tissue is found throughout the body, some features of the disorder are visible, such as deep-set eyes, long limbs and a tall, slender body type.
About one in 5,000 people have Marfan syndrome, and it affects men and women of all races and ethnic groups.
Each year, Local 10 raises awareness about and funds for The Marfan Foundation’s Walk for Victory. The fundraising goal this year is $75,000, and the money will go toward helping families affected by this condition gain access to the quality medical care they deserve.

There is promising research that can lead to a cure for Marfan syndrome and other genetic aortic and vascular conditions. Taking steps today can lead to great victories tomorrow. Join Team Top Ten, have fun and make a difference!
