May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Month in Massachusetts
Diana Cleaveland has been a very proactive member of the Ehlers-Danlos community.
“For the third year in a row, May has been named Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Month in Massachusetts, thanks to the efforts of a Newburyport woman.
Diana Cleaveland, who was diagnosed in 2010, has made it her mission to raise awareness of the genetic condition.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of incurable disorders that affect connective tissues in the body, according to the National Institutes for Health. Approximately 1 in 5,000 people is born with one of the six major types of EDS.
Cleaveland is part of the Ehlers-Danlos New England/MA Support Group, which has more than 500 members.”
She is also a member of the EDS Awareness team and has made many contributions to this program.
