Zebra Strong for The Ehlers-Danlos Society

I am raising awareness and funds for The Ehlers-Danlos Society.
I am going to tackle the Appalachian Trail, be the first person in a wheelchair to take it on.
Thanks to zoomability.com for providing the chair to take on this challenge.
I am hoping I can get donors to sponsor by the mile I complete, and as it is more than 2,000 miles, I hope it can raise some good funds.

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.


Please support me, and together we will overcome!
