Thank you to our Sponsors and Volunteers for making Meagan’s HOPE Memorial Walk & Roll 2019 a success!

Born December 12, 1987, Meagan Rae Braun was a kind, caring, loving individual with the most beautiful, gentle soul. But behind her beautiful smile, Meagan suffered from multisystemic illnesses including Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), allergies and sensitivities, and more. Frustrated with limited treatment options for her health, in addition to battling postpartum depression, Meagan lost all hope resulting in her death from suicide on April 24th, 2017.

Our future!

This annual Walk is held in honor of Meagan’s gracious spirit to raise money and awareness surrounding EDS and related disorders. Funds are used to develop support and resources for patients and medical professionals.

Tragedies like this are preventable with education, support, and resources! This is why we MUST enhance education, support, and resources for both the medical community and the patient population as soon as possible! One person, like Meagan, is too many!

In its first year, 186 people came to this event from across the country. Meagan’s family hopes to at least double this number and double awareness in 2019. The public and media are welcome and encouraged to attend.

 

 

UPDATE: Meagan’s Walk & Roll 2019 brought 325 attendees, and many more participant from around the country! Thank you to everyone who participated.
