Play it Forward: Contribute to the EDS Community Playlist on Spotify This May!

Let’s make a mixtape on a mission to elevate the noise level for EDS awareness to make waves that foster change for the EDS community.

Music has the power to heal, to connect, and to inspire. This May, as we observe Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Awareness Month, Chronic Pain Partners is thrilled to announce our latest initiative – the Care-e-oke campaign in partnership with EDS S.H.A.R.E. Through the universal language of music, this innovative project aims to bring together those who suffer from EDS and chronic pain while also raising much-needed funds to support our ongoing volunteer work serving the community.

This May, we’re turning up the volume with our exciting community effort to soothe the savage EDS beast. It’s not just about raising awareness; it’s about creating a symphony of support and strength for those living with EDS and chronic illnesses.

Care-e-oke is an invitation for both the patient and provider communities to harmonize their experiences through music. Instead of singing or performing, we’re curating a global community EDS playlist soundtrack on Spotify to Play It Forward. Join by contributing your favorite fight song to create a shared playlist filled with songs that make a movement.
