My name is Felix, and this Summer I am hoping to get top surgery in Sweden. I've desperately needed this surgery for as long as I can remember, and only recently have my stakes been radically upped by a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome. On my current university course (musical theatre), I cannot afford to carry on wearing my binder during my dance classes due to potential damage to my shoulders, ribs and spine - a terrifying sentiment for one whose body is his instrument.

I am so close to achieving my overall goal of £5500 for the surgery (much of it I intend to make up with the lasts of my savings), and as such any money whatsoever would be an absolute life-saver. This money will go toward not only my top surgery itself but my travel expenses, recovery and care at the surgery itself.

This surgery will be absolutely life-changing for me in a way that words cannot describe. Any help you can offer will make the world of difference
