Registration is closed, the walk is past, but you can still support us with a donation by clicking the "Donate Now!" button.
Thank you for supporting our Flame Out - A Walk to Extinguish RSD/CRPS with your donation.
Our daughter, Judy, suffers from a disabling, chronic, neuropathic disease called RSD, which is also known as CRPS. Misfiring nerves send continual pain signals to the brain. The McGill Pain Index classifies RSD as one of the most painful disorders, ranking as high as 46 out of 50. It ranks higher than the pain of childbirth and kidney stones. It has been described as more painful than amputation of a finger without anesthesia. RSD patients liken it to your skin being on fire, with no relief.
There is presently no cure for the disease. As an orphan disease, there is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies or the medical community to address the underlying causes or explore treatment options. Only awareness and education of the medical community and the public will result in research and treatment options. That is where RSDSA comes in. As the only national advocate for over thirty years, they need your support.
Please join us as our Pain Warriors step off to remember those who, daily, battle this insidious disease. You will meet some of the bravest and most inspiring people.
