Walk and Roll Challenge – Join the Herd, Spread the Word!

Make Every Move Count for EDS and HSD Awareness!

This May, join The Ehlers-Danlos Society’s biggest virtual Walk and Roll Challenge yet! Movement creates visibility—every action you take starts conversations, raises awareness, and shows solidarity with those living with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD).

Together, we can reduce delays in diagnosis, break down barriers to care, and fund essential education, advocacy, and research. Whether you walk, roll, or move your way, you’re helping shine a light on invisible conditions. Track your supporters with the personal US Sponsorship Form and UK/EU Sponsorship Form and make each mile count. Set a goal, share your challenge, and inspire change!

Our Goal: Raise $100,000 in May!
Together, we can drive change. Sign up, set your fundraising goal, and be part of something bigger!

Incentives Terms and Conditions

Please note our tier disclaimer:

Incentives are awarded based on the highest tier you achieve, and incentives from lower tiers are not included. For example, if you raise $300 and qualify for the third tier, you will only receive the third-tier incentive, not the items from the first or second tiers. This approach allows us to allocate resources efficiently and ensure a meaningful thank-you for your fundraising efforts.

Claiming Your Incentives:

After the event concludes, you can claim your incentives by filling out a simple form. This must be done by June 8, 2025.  The form will ask for your contact information and proof of fundraising, such as screenshots from your fundraising page or donation receipts. Once submitted, our team will verify your information and arrange for your incentives to be delivered. Incentive codes will be distributed no later than June 23, 2025. If you have earned an incentive, you will receive an email with a unique code that you can use online to claim your reward.

Please note that participants are responsible for any shipping and handling fees associated with their incentives. To claim your incentives, please complete the Participant Form.
