Due to health-related reasons, For Grace's event planning committee has decided to postpone our 10th Annual Women In Pain Conference from February 19th to September 24th, 2021. With a full slate of world-class speakers confirmed, we're looking forward to a day that will bring much-needed light to the "Pain-Cancer" connection and how to best manage these two formidable challenges. Please check back during Spring 2021 to get updates on this groundbreaking event...
Your 2020 tax-deductible donation will aid For Grace's global efforts to empower women in pain, sensitize the media and public about pain care gender bias and influence policy makers to embrace chronic pain as a health crisis. It is because of your generosity that we are able to continue our education and awareness programs to improve the lives of women who are, or will be, challenged by life-altering chronic pain.

Check out For Grace's December Story of the Month. Woman in pain Katy Itacy had a successful law career in her early thirties until excruciating back pain forced her into early retirement. Despite her thinking its cause was a re-emerging childhood spinal tumor, doctors repeatedly said no, even suggesting her pain was "psychosomatic." Katy eventually found a "tethered-cord syndrome" specialist who confirmed her suspicion; however, it was too little too late. Katy now advocates for herself and others who have been neglected by healthcare professionals.
