Thomas Edge

The team at Annabelle’s Challenge are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our members, Thomas Edge, who passed away suddenly but peacefully on 7th October 2026, aged just 27.

Thomas was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (vEDS) in 2007 and became a member of Annabelle’s Challenge in December 2018.

Our heartfelt thoughts and deepest condolences are with his parents, Andrew and Clare, and all of Thomas’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time. Clare is a valued trustee of Annabelle’s Challenge, and we hold the entire family close in our thoughts.

Thomas will be greatly missed, but his memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him and within the vEDS community.

Rest in peace, Thomas. Forever remembered, never forgotten. 

"Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,

Take him and cut him out in little stars,

And he will make the face of heaven so fine

That all the world will be in love with night

And pay no worship to the garish sun."

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (Act 3, Scene 2)
