PLAY IT FORWARD: Join the 2024 EDS Care-e-oke Community Playlist Challenge!
Dropping Beats, Lifting Spirits: EDS Care-e-oke Connects Us!
This May, let's
collaborate to raise awareness around the globe for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) patients everywhere. Music has the power to heal, to connect, and to inspire. This May, as we observe EDS Awareness Month, Chronic Pain Partners is excited to announce our latest initiative – the Care-e-oke campaign in conjunction with the band of zebras at EDS S.H.A.R.E. This unique
initiative aims to unite those affected by EDS and chronic pain through the universal language of music while raising much-needed funds to support our ongoing work.
Ways to Spread the EDS Word
- Together, let’s Play it Forward by adding your
favorite fight song to a community playlist!
- Show you Care-e-oke for someone with EDS and grab the tshirt to support Chronic Pain Partners’ fundraiser.
What is Care-e-oke?
Care-e-oke is a celebration of strength and resilience where individuals from the EDS and chronic pain community share their favorite songs that help them cope with their condition. This year, we’re taking a step further by creating the global EDS playlist soundtrack on
Spotify – a collective playlist of songs that inspire, uplift, and empower our community. Together, let's make a mixtape on a mission to elevate the noise level on what it's like to have EDS. It's more than just a shared playlist; it's a global chorus of strength, resilience, and unity for people with any type of EDS or HSD. Whether you're living with EDS, know someone who is, or simply want to show your support, this is your chance to make an impact and play it forward. Join our worldwide
community this May for EDS Awareness Month in this 31-day harmonious movement to raise our voices and raise awareness for EDS.
How to Add to the Playlist
Simply add your favorite EDS fight song to the global support Spotify Playlist following these steps:
1. Listen-Only Mode: Access our collaborative Spotify playlist and simply start your own private jam session. All users (free or paid on Spotify) can listen for free.
2. Add a Song: To add a song that speaks to you about strength, hope, or anything that inspires you, search for your song on Spotify (whether you’re a free user or member), click on the three dots next to the song and select “add to playlist” and search for “EDS Care-e-oke Playlist 2024.”
3. Share the Playlist: Spread the vibe to your social channels to raise the noise level for EDS awareness. Encourage others to contribute their favorite tracks. Use this link: PLAY IT FORWARD! Users will be able to listen with a Spotify free or paid account. Set up may be required.
Note: considerations for song selections:
- Explicit lyrics are okay, but remember, all ages might be listening to this playlist. Choose wisely.
- Try to limit yourself to two or three songs to add max. We want everyone's song to be heard.
- All genres
and types of music are welcome. Remember—these are fight songs! Let's try to keep it strong and powerful! (We can make our "EDS makes me sad/frustrated/angry" playlist another time.)
TOGETHER, LET’S PLAY IT FORWARD
Raise your voice and share a song by adding to the EDS Care-e-oke Playlist to show you Care-e-oke for someone with EDS and grab the tshirt to support Chronic Pain Partner’s FUNdraiser. Together, we can create a symphony of support and understanding that resonates around the world to harmonize our healing!
