In Memory of Courtney Rehel-Lucas, who tragically passed away on May 9 due to surgery complications related to Marfan Syndrome, GADA has been humbled by the outpouring of donations received in her memory. Courtney’s family requested these donations be given in lieu of flowers.
Courtney’s passing, at the age of 28, was announced on Wednesday, May 9, 2023. Courtney was beautiful inside and out, full of life and love for all her family, friends and anything four-legged and furry. She was eagerly planning her upcoming wedding and future travel plans with her fiancé, Nicholas, and was so proud of him and the strides he had made in his life.
We at GADA are deeply honoured to receive these generous donations, and will remain dedicated to enabling a promising future for individuals living with Marfan syndrome and other genetic aortic disorders through education, awareness, support, and research.
