A success or superior position achieved against any opponent, opposition, difficulty.
Living with Marfan syndrome or a related disorder is not easy. There are so many challenges along the way. But there are also so many victories to be celebrated. There are big victories, such as recovery from major aortic surgery, and there are some days when just getting out of bed is a victory. And there are everyday victories as you overcome physical and social challenges associated with your condition.
We asked everyone who attended our annual conference in L.A. what victory means to each of them. Here is what they told us.
