In this episode of Staying Connected, we talk to Ben Weisman, who was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome at birth and is the third generation in his family to live with Marfan syndrome. Ben shares his story of growing up with Marfan, finding and building community, his involvement in the teen program at the Marfan Foundation, and his journey into politics.
