More Information About the Virtual March for Pain Care

My Dear Fibrotastic People-and the Wonderful People Who Love Us -- I Am Very Excited About This and Hope You Will Become Involved - Please Sign Up to Take Part in This Virtual March Today. Do It for Your Loved Ones, Do It for Yourself, Do It Because it Needs to be Done. Thank You!

A Virtual March on Washington and the 10,000 Voices Campaign to Improve Pain Management!

Uniting Our Voices, Conquering Pain Together

September Pain Awareness Month (PAM) provides an opportunity for organizations and individuals to come together to raise awareness in communities across the country to bring positive change to the management of pain.

As part of PAM, join us for APF’s VIRTUAL MARCH on Washington – an online event to unite, empower and rally those who care about people living with pain and be part of making a difference in pain policy and practice.

Individuals are invited to
JOIN THE MARCH!
Organizations and groups are invited to
ENDORSE THE MARCH
Help us transform pain policy into improved pain management for all!

2010 marked an enormous victory for pain management. Provisions in the National Pain Care Policy Act passed with the Health Care Reform bill after 7 years in the making! We’ve garnered awareness and momentum around pain and the challenges it creates for millions of people but there is still so much work to do. The majority of people with pain still do not receive the pain care they deserve. JOIN US and make the difference!

Virtual March to Improve Pain Management

I hope that you will all join the American Pain Foundation's Virtual March on Washington to Improve Pain Management. Even those of us who are fibrotastic and unable to leave our beds can join this march. Invite others to join with you. Too many suffer day in and day out with no end in sight. Don't suffer in silence, make your voice heard.
