About this campaign
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) is a genetic disorder that affects the connective tissue that very in ways they affect the body. EDS causes extremely flexible joints, fragile and stretchy skin, dislocations, subluxations, scarring and bruising issues and ton more. EDS can affect the whole body. EDS has 13 types and each EDS type has a set criteria that helps get diagnosed. Each person with EDS is not the same, always remember each person experience is not the same. Med students are taught "When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra" aka look for more common diagnosis. The zebra became the symbol to represent us because EDS are unexpected "Sometimes when you hear hoofbeats, it's really a zebra". No two zebra have identical stripes just like no two people with EDS are identical. We may look fine but does not mean we are. NO ONE IS TOO RARE TO CARE!!!
Hi! If you don't know me, I am MacKenzie and I have multiple chronic illnesses. Chronic illnesses play a huge factor in my life more than people realize cause they see the smile on my face. One of my main chronic illnesses is called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. This effects all my connective tissue in my body and much more, I am raising money for the EDS Society to hopefully one day there is more help for so many of us dealing with EDS. I appreciate anyone who would like to help. It means more than you will ever know. I want to give credit to one of my best friends Nicole. We created this design to help spread awareness. You will see in this awareness ribbon there are multiple other awareness ribbons inside. Each one symbolizes one of my diagnosis. And still many other things that we are searching for answers. If you do want to help, make sure to send pics of spreading awareness! Even sharing it would so helpful too!
Again thank you again!
