<div>Hi, my name is Mike, many of you know me as DeCo (pronounced “Deeko”). I have Vascular EDS, we call it VEDS (the EDS stands for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). It’s a rare and serious genetic connective tissue disorder. I did not find out that I had this condition until about 5 years ago, when I was 37 years old. My Dad died of an aortic dissection when I was 7 years old, so this news at 37 ended up explaining a 30 year mystery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In January of 2021, completely out of the blue, I suffered an acute 3.5 inch dissection of my right iliac artery leading down to my femoral artery...within minutes my leg and foot started to go numb. I was rushed to the hospital and ended up having a 5-hour limb-saving and life-saving surgery. Crisis = Opportunity. I want to use this experience for great. I want to raise awareness and funds for the Vascular EDS community. People need to know about this condition and we need more money for continued research. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The "Walk with DeCo" Mission was simple: Walk 4,000,000 steps and raise $40,000 for Vascular EDS in 2021. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>BUT THERE ARE STILL WAYS TO HELP...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate if you can, any amount helps! You’ll be helping me, my family, and all families impacted by this serious genetic condition.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please help spread the word!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Also subscribe to my podcast and follow the journey!
