We deserve more tomorrows
Freddie and his mum Laura both have Vascular Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (vEDS), a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder.
They have a risk of fragile blood vessels, which can lead to major complications, including ruptures, dissections or aneurysms.
More tomorrows can be possible for their family and many others with vEDS, thanks to people like you supporting Annabelle’s Challenge.
How can you help?
We are committed to finding treatments and one day, a cure.
To continue the much needed research, raise awareness and to support our community, donations are crucial.
Donating as little as £10 can fund a vEDS Emergency Pack for someone like Freddie or Laura.
Our Emergency Packs ensure those with vEDS have the resources and support at their fingertips in the event of a medical emergency or routine appointment.
Donating £50 could fund a patient MedicAlert membership and vEDS Emergency Pack.
Your donations also help fund:
- Research
- Free MedicAlert membership
- School training and support
- Annabelle's Challenge counselling service
