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

I'm back fundraising again!

Not many people have heard of the condition, EDS.

It stands for Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. It affects the body in a multitude of ways leading to many relatively hidden symptoms that people sadly have to find ways to endure, cope and live with. Many people have EDS without knowing, wondering why life is so hard for them. There isn't a cure known, but raising awareness and ensuring there is support for those who have EDS is so important for their wellbeing.

In less than 7 weeks I'm taking on the New York City Marathon. For me it feels an overwhelming challenge. I can only imagine how much more difficult it would be if I also had EDS, I'm fortunate, I don't.

The challenge is completely dedicated to EDS Support UK and to that end, any support you would like to give would be hugely appreciated and will help support my motivation to push through the last months of training and the race day itself!

Thanks,

Ollie
