In 2014 little Eli Hicks was diagnosed with Autism. In 2015 he was diagnosed with ADHD. But Eli's biggest battle was yet to come. In February of 2017 after months of tests and suffering, Eli was diagnosed with a Connective Tissue Disease called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS). EDS is caused by a lack of collagen and elastin in the body. There are many chromosomes in the body that produce collagen but most of Eli's don't work. They are either mutated or missing altogether.

Eli doesn't really understand what is happening to his body but he refers to that time as "When my legs stopped working properly”. When he was smaller it wasn't such an issue, but as he grows, his body can't keep up with enough collagen and elastin production. This has caused his joints and ligaments to become hypermobile and ‘floppy’ in appearance. He has frequent joint dislocation of his ankles and most recently his shoulder.

Enter Wolfgang Klette… ‘Wolfie’ was a founding member of Sound Connection chorus along with Eli’s dad, Michael. Wolfie was a larger than life character with a big heart and a big voice. Many people would know of him if not in person, for his ‘terrible’ jokes and his penchant for telling a good story.

Many years ago (in 2004) Wolfie was lucky enough to win a framed shirt and CD collection of The Vocal Majority Chorus. This iconic barbershop chorus is 13 times Gold Medal winners in Barbershop Harmony Society chorus competitions, with their most recent win in 2018. It was Wolfie’s wish that his cherished, framed CD and signed shirt collection be raffled, and the funds donated to Eli’s family to assist with his ongoing medical costs.
