TWD Collective aka People Behind the Purpose
I am lucky enough to have some amazing people supporting this mission and what we hope to bring to the community. With the help of these people - and all the people and artists who have supported and contributed to this show - I am able to see this project as an ongoing initiative. Thank you for helping me turn my passions into purpose. ~ Christina

My Family
The support of my siblings and my fiancé Hank has always made my dreams possible. This photo was taken at the first annual Together We Dazzle art show in 2023 and one of the last group photos we got with our beautiful brother Joshua.
Our collective efforts have the potential to illuminate the only gene we are missing to detect and diagnose Hypermobile EDS. Detecting this gene will make a huge impact on the EDS community and innumerable families.
