Additional Information
Annabelle's Challenge is the UK charity for Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vascular EDS), a rare life limiting genetic disorder.
We raise funds for research, awareness campaigns and offer support and advice for people living with the condition.
The charity also works closely with the NHS Ehlers-Danlos National Diagnostic Service with clinics in Sheffield and London.
To help raise the profile of vascular EDS, Annabelle's Challenge hosts the global awareness campaign #REDS4VEDS Day which takes place on the third Friday of May each year.
