This month is EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome) and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder) awareness month and I’m excited to be able to help raise money for the research of these conditions.

I’m 16 and I was diagnosed with HSD in February of 2020 after having years of back pain. EDS and HSD are conditions that effect the joints (along with many other symptoms) and it is something that impacts the way I live my life every day. It causes me fatigue and pain that sometimes make even just daily tasks difficult but I know there are so many people that go undiagnosed because these conditions aren’t very well known. This is why I wanted to take part in May Awareness Month this year and maybe help people finally get the diagnosis they’ve been looking for.

I have decided to try and walk 100k by the end of May and any donations would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
