Support #myEDSchallenge and help me reach my goal!

I have joined the May Awareness Month Challenge to spread awareness and raise funds to support The Ehlers-Danlos Society by participating in the #myEDSchallenge. Please support me by donating to my fundraising page. Together, even a small amount can make a huge difference!

I was diagnosed in November with EDS so it is all still so new to me. We are learning more and more about the condition every day and how greatly it implicates several aspects of my life. It explains so many of the challenges I have faced and answeres so many questions for us. I now have a direction in treatment which I have never had before. That being said, there is no cure for EDS only lifelong management of the symptoms. Please donate to help better the lives and give support to those who struggle with this progressive and lifelong battle. We are a community who need to stick together, but also need the help from our family and friends.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of heritable connective tissue disorders that produce a spectrum of complex problems across multiple systems of the body. Symptoms that are often seen across all types are hypermobile joints, (that can move farther than normal), stretchy skin, & fragile tissues. 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.

Please support me as I overcome my challenges with EDS to participate in the #myEDSchallenge by donating. Thank you!
