I'm going 'Orange for AS' this March to help raise awareness about axial SpA and raise vital funds to help transform the diagnosis, care and treatment of everyone living with the condition. 1 in 200 people in the UK lives with axial Spondyloarthritis (axial SpA), yet 91% of the population has never heard of the condition. Axial SpA is an inflammatory disease of the spine and joints. Its invisible and leaves people feeling powerless, in increasing pain and extreme exhaustion. Its progressive, so every year that passes without treatment can lead to more serious damage. If left untreated, it can freeze the spine and permanently fuse bones.I'm raising money to support NASS, who transform the diagnosis and care of people living with axial SpA. NASS doesnt receive any statutory funding, and every penny you donate will help more people live well with the condition sooner. Thank you so much!
