Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust

Every week in the UK, 70 people suffer an aortic dissection. Aortic dissection occurs when there is a partial tear in the aortic wall. It is a time-critical medical emergency that, without diagnosis and treatment, is often fatal. #TeamAorta are running, walking, cycling and swimming to raise funds for aortic dissection research, with the total sponsorship raised going directly to The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust’s research grant fund. This funding provides support to projects with the overall aim of improving the clinical care of patients, saving lives, and improving the quality of life for those suffering from aortic dissection. Help us reach our research target and boost the national research agenda for aortic dissection.
