Local Author to Share Experience with Marfan Syndrome
Local author Peter Perring will appear at North Lakes Library on Tuesday, 24 March, from 11am to 12pm. He will discuss his experience living with Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder, and his book Threads of Life.
“Living with Marfan syndrome means carrying something most people can’t see,” Peter said. “On the outside, I often look fine. But inside my body, there is a constant awareness that something is different, fragile, and unpredictable. That invisibility can be one of the hardest parts.
“What I hope readers take from my first book, Threads of Life, is an understanding that life is made up of moments that don’t always make sense while you’re living them. Each chapter, each experience, is a thread – some strong, some fragile, some tangled – that together create a story worth telling.”
