Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page.
Pulmonary Hypertension is a rare and serious medical condition. It is caused by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs that can lead to heart failure and death. It is incurable.
However recent advances in medicine provide treatments to slow the progression of the disease and prolong the life span of patients.
The journey with PH can be very hard for patients and their families and requires great endurance and fortitude. The specialist team in The Mater Hospital under the leadership of Prof. Sean Gaine provide professional advice , treatments and hope for those affected and their loved ones.
Please donate to support the Pulmonary Hypertension Association . All fundraising is through the Mater Hospital Foundation for use in supporting Pulmonary Hypertension patients, their carers and activities focused on improving PH awareness to achieve earlier diagnosis and better outcomes for sufferers.
