Hi, my name is Peyton Long, and I’m a high school student in Charleston, South Carolina.

I’m starting this fundraiser to support people living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome)—two serious conditions that are often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and overlooked.

POTS affects the autonomic nervous system and can cause symptoms like rapid heart rate, dizziness, fainting, chronic fatigue, and difficulty standing for long periods. EDS is a connective tissue disorder that can cause joint instability, chronic pain, dislocations, and long-term complications throughout the body.

Someone very close to me lives with both POTS and EDS. Watching what daily life looks like for them made me realize how little awareness exists and how hard it can be to get proper treatment and support.

That’s why I’m raising money to support research, awareness, and patient resources through Dysautonomia International

Even a small donation helps fund research, education, and support programs for people who live with these conditions every day.

If you can donate, share, or help spread the word, it would mean a lot.

Thank you for supporting this cause.

Goal: $250

All proceeds will go to: Dysautonmia
