#REDS4VEDS Day 2025: Raising Awareness for vEDS

Join the #REDS4VEDS campaign today Friday, May 16, and help to raise awareness of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS).⁠ ⁠

🔴Wear something red⁠

vEDS is a heritable connective tissue disorder that makes the connective tissue very fragile, particularly in the blood vessels and hollow organs. vEDS can cause life-threatening complications, such as aneurysm, dissection, and rupture of the arteries and rupture of organs, mainly the bowel.

With awareness, we can ensure earlier diagnosis and monitoring to improve and save lives.

With awareness, we can increase the number of research studies into vEDS, working towards treatments and therapies to improve and save lives.

❤️Help us raise awareness of vEDS today. Learn more about vEDS.
