Retiring Collection
The Retiring Collection during August and
September is for research into Ehlers - Danlos Syndromes, something you have probably never heard of, but can cause very debilitating issues.
The Ehlers – Danlos Syndromes (EDS) are a genetic disorder in which the structure of connective tissue is abnormal due to a gene mutation. This results in abnormally fragile and hyper-extensible tissues throughout the body which can lead to a range of multi – systemic symptoms. The effect on the body is widespread and not limited to one body system. It is often misdiagnosed or dismissed and people can wait for more than 10 years for a diagnosis. There is a lack of good post-diagnosis management and part of the aims of the charity EDS UK is to support vital research to further understand EDS, improve its management and work towards a cure.
The daughter of a teacher at Farnborough Road School suffers EDS. During her daughter’s pregnancies she had to have complete bed rest, as her hips dislocated due to the stretchiness of her connective tissues. Her mother is fundraising for EDS UK. As EDS is so little known it relies heavily on personal contacts.
Please support this worthwhile charity. Thank you.
