Zebra Strong for The Ehlers-Danlos Society

I am raising awareness and funds for The Ehlers-Danlos Society. Together, even a small amount can make a huge difference! The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 14 heritable connective tissue disorders that produce a spectrum of complex problems across multiple systems of the body. Hallmark symptoms across all types are hypermobile joints, skin hyperextensibility, & tissue fragility. Each case is unique and severity may range dramatically, even within families.

The Ehlers-Danlos Society is a global community dedicated to saving & improving the lives of those affected by the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes, hypermobility spectrum disorders, & related conditions. Our goal is world-wide awareness and better quality of life for all who suffer from these conditions, regardless of geography.

I chose the Ehlers-Danlos Society because I have a cousin who is affected by EDS. She is the strongest person I know, and I am inspired by her every day. So I decided to help raise money for this cause, and raise awareness about EDS, and how awful it is, by playing one of her favorite games, as well as a few others. Which you can watch by clicking here, if you'd like.

Thank you all for the support. You have no idea how much this means to me, my cousin, and our family.

Together we will overcome!
