Story
The plan: On Good Friday April 19th walk around Fleet Pond - and if I feel ok, walk around it again! Come and join me, your company would be welcomed :)
I have a genetic condition, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, which brings a pick'n'mix of health issues. Mainly for me, I injure easily and heal very slowly and not completely. I had a few years of wheel-chair dependence from 2013 and was told by my Rheumatologist that he did not expect I would ever go for a walk again, but happily I have continued to heal at my own pace. 6 years later I can now thoroughly enjoy a short walk, so long as I have rested beforehand. I want to celebrate this blessing by doing a walk to raise money for Hypermobility Syndromes Association, an organisation which has helped me by showing me that I am far from being isolated with my health difficulties, I am part of a community with tips to share. "The HMSA is the only charity offering both practical support and Information Standards Accredited health and care information to people who have a hypermobility syndrome" and their carers.

5 years agoYay! It's done, 2.6 miles with a couple of rest stops. Beautiful day for it. Thank you so very much for sponsoring me. I am very grateful to be walking again and so pleased to have friends and family celebrate with me. The HMSA will put your money to good use to research why folk like me injure easily and heal so very slowly, to offer a support network and to educate us on preventative physiotherapy.
