The mission of our non-profit 501(c)(3) organization is to raise awareness for vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vEDS).  We also raise funds to support patient care, patient outreach, and research to find better treatments for vEDS.  We do this in honor of Andie Mae G. Carpenter.  Andie passed away at age 20 from complications of vEDS.  Better education and care could have saved her life.  Our mission is to help other vEDS families have more time with their loved ones like we would have loved to have.
