Ehlers-Danlos Support UK improves quality of life for people living with the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS). We work across the UK to support, advise and inform those living with the condition and the medical professionals working with them.

Story

This is my first (maybe only!) half marathon. For this MASSIVE challenge I don't want to run just any half marathon, I want to do the LEGENDARY Derby Ramathon. It's an iconic race in my home town and I have fond memories of cheering my dad on when he ran it in 1987 (he was pretty much the age I am now...yikes!)

And my chosen charity is one that is extremely close to my heart. Many of you will know that in 2011 I was diagnosed with the genetic condition Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. At that time I was really struggling to walk to the local shops and back. EDS UK has been an invaluable source of information and support as I have built up my strength and fitness. I'd love to give something back to them. 

I have also had lots of help from my friend and neighbour Jude and she's coming down to Derby to run with me - hurrah!

So sincere thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
