The walk is designed with CRPSers in mind! The loop is just shy of a 1/2 mile. There will be chairs along the path for those that may need to take a break! Canes, walking sticks, walkers, wheelchairs, and scooters are all welcomed!

It’s NOT a race! In fact, it’s all about enjoying each other's company, getting to know each other, learning from one another, spreading awareness, and raising funds for RSDSA —- our cause!

For more information please email Kristie McCurdy or Rose Temblador at CRPSweRonfire@gmail.com

The Orange County CRPS Survivors and Caregivers Support Group is excited to host the RSDCA We're on Fire! Walk, Roll, Stroll - CRPS Awareness Walk!

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) also known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is a rare, debilitating neuro-inflammatory condition. It often leaves its victims in excruciating pain, requiring care from multiple medical professionals, and dependent on family and friends to accomplish the tasks of daily living.

CRPS/RSD often develops after a fracture, sprain, surgery, or other, even minor, trauma to the body. It has the highest rated pain, 42 out of 50, on the McGill Pain Index, a scale that physicians use to measure and compare pain. It is rated more painful than amputation of a digit without anesthesia, childbirth, and even non-terminal cancer. In addition, the pain of CRPS/RSD is unrelenting and is experienced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Often, those with CRPS/RSD cannot even be touched by their loved ones because the pain is so excruciating. Since CRPS/RSD is a rare disease with less than 200,000 people in the United States diagnosed with it; there is little incentive for pharmaceutical companies or the medical community to address underlying causes or to develop effective treatments. For many individuals, this results in a progressive worsening of symptoms, disability and a life of unbearable pain.
