In memory of Alexandra Kay, daughter of our founder Charlotte, the team at Green People will once again come together for our annual walk to celebrate her life and raise awareness for the connective tissue disorder, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), "if you can't connect the issues, think connective tissues".

It will be 5 years since Alexandra passed and each year, we gather not only to remember Alexandra, but to honour her legacy and the strength she showed throughout her life.

Alexandra was diagnosed with EDS, a rare and incurable condition that affects the body’s connective tissues, including the skin and joints. Despite the daily challenges of living with EDS, her strength and spirit continue to inspire all who knew her. Tragically, Alexandra passed away in the summer of 2021, aged just 28.

May is EDS and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder) awareness month where the community comes together to raise awareness and money towards EDS to support making diagnosis and treatment more accessible.

Each year, we walk not only in her memory, but in support of everyone living with EDS, raising awareness, championing resilience, and standing together as a community.
