Let YOUR story be part of the EDS Guardians story! We're a brand-new charity -- serving the #EhlersDanlosSyndromes community -- and we're building our website. Sure, we could use stock photos to design the site, but we'd rather showcase REAL people in the EDS community. Get involved! Be featured on our website! Have a photo from your #EDS journey that you think tells a relatable story? Submit your photos here or to Kate@EDSguardians.com, tell us about the photo and tell us how (or if) you'd like to be credited (e.g.., Photo courtesy of Jim Advy, Chicago, IL). Photo ideas: -- Smiling faces of EDS patients at any age -- Living your best life on a "good day" -- Keeping it real on a "hard day" -- EDSers showing off their medical devices, equipment, aids (e.g., walkers, canes, wheelchairs, ports, joint braces, feeding tubes, Body Braids, neck braces, med/supplement bottles) -- Healthcare photos (at clinics, hospitals, PT/physio, etc.) -- Family photos where one or more family members have EDS -- Medical travel photos (living in hotels, taking road trips or airplane trips to see specialists) -- Patient/caregiver photos -- Creative shots that showcase something about being bendy or having issues with your tissues -- you in zebra print, you showing off your Gorlin sign (touching tongue to tip of nose), you showing off an EDS/POTS/MCAS-themed tattoo (Note: We do NOT encourage people to do "party tricks" with their hypermobile joints but if you have a photo that shows this, we'd love to see it) Show us the beautiful EDSers in your life!

I promised to tie in the previous post (below) to a professional context, so here goes. Reflecting on my military, professional, and "adventurer" experiences, three commonalities resonate. No new insights, but maybe a different lens to view similar lessons. 1. Resilience is key Life is tough. Work is tough. There are many situations which feel insurmountable. Put one foot in front of another, and when you can't walk, fail one more time at trying to stand or take your first step. I'll never forget being stood up for the first time in months in my hospital room after my injury. I'll never forget crying on a bench trying to walk to my first class at Georgetown's MBA. Suffering is part of life and it makes the small steps towards success sweet and worth celebrating. 2. Learning / evolution is essential I wanted to be a Soldier and leader for my career. Plans change and life happens. Continuing to learn enables change and growth. Previous experiences further enhance your new skills and knowledge and likely accelerate your adoption of new thinking and skills. From going back to school for an MBA, learning to make slides as a consultant, identifying and tracking value creation initiatives in PE Ops, or picking up coding and understanding AI functionality with my current venture, I'm surely not done building on previous skills and experiences. 3. People enable and compound our individual efforts and success We don't accomplish anything alone. Whether it's words of encouragement, mentorship, or people willing to trust and follow us, other people empower our success. I've been fortunate to have great people to support me both personally and professionally. A supportive and loving family, great NCO's taking me under their wing as a young Infantry Officer, managers helping me build critical thinking / structured problem solving as a consultant, PE fund leadership mentoring me and leading by example, portfolio leadership welcoming me into their business and sharing their experience and perspective, and colleagues lending an ear for gripes and to brainstorm solutions. I'm certain I'll benefit from other participants of the Marathon des Sables in the upcoming race and hope to provide support to others along the way. I hope I can continue to reflect on my experiences professionally to build my own ventures and help others in their journey.

☆☆☆☆Please share with your friends especially football collectors or fans...RAISING MONEY FOR CHARITY☆☆☆☆ Hello All friends....football fans.. Raising awareness for my my friend Craig Whymark-Pickett dad, Trevor Whymark, who you may know as an ex-Ipswich Football player. Trevor has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which has been a challenging time for him, his friends, and his family. His son, Craig, along with his alter ego, Fanny Galore, has been fundraising for several months, and they've already surpassed their original goal of £2,000, now standing at £10,700.

You can watch a heartfelt video message from Trevor thanking all previous donors. https://lnkd.in/eHBpRvK8 Ipswich Town has provided this directly to Trevor and his family to add finds to the charity, and this is where you can help.

*Update: Survey closed - Thanks a lot for your support!* "If every human life is fundamentally equal in worth and therefore equally worth saving, then allowing biases to influence the destinations of charitable donations is a problem." – Siddhartha Basu As part of my master's thesis at the University of St. Gallen, I conduct a survey to analyze donation behavior for specific wars and how biases influence it. To ensure meaningful results, I need as many participants as possible. Therefore, I invite you to participate in my survey "Biases in Charitable Giving", which takes approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete. Further, you will have a chance to win 1 of 3 vouchers. Please click on the link to participate in the survey: https://lnkd.in/e7KDHF2h The language of the survey can be changed from "German" to "English" in the upper right corner. The survey can be completed on a mobile phone. However, I recommend doing it on a larger screen for better display. If you have any questions or comments, contact me at any time. Thank you so much for your help! It is highly appreciated. Best, Alicia #charitablegiving #householdfinancing #donations #biases #socialdistance #crises
