The Ehlers-Danlos Society has opened nominations for its 2026 Community Choice Awards, recognizing advocates and healthcare professionals who have made a difference in the lives of those living with EDS, HSD, and related conditions. Winners will be announced during the 2026 Global Learning Conference, taking place July 24–26 in Dallas, Texas and online. (The Ehlers Danlos Society)

As someone living with hypermobility and dedicating my career to educating massage therapists and supporting clients with connective tissue disorders, this community holds a special place in my heart. Every conversation, class, blog post, and client session is part of a larger mission: helping people feel seen, understood, and supported.

If my work has made a difference in your journey, I would be honored if you would consider submitting a nomination. More importantly, I encourage everyone to take a moment to recognize the advocates, clinicians, researchers, and community members who are helping move awareness and care forward for all of us.

Together, we continue to educate, advocate, and create change—one zebra at a time. 🦓
