2020 Conference Eyes Cancer & Pain

After taking a three year hiatus to host two summits and a Sacramento legislative briefing, we're happy to announce that For Grace will host its 10th annual Women In Pain Conference on Friday, September 4th. This year we'll focus on the connection between chronic pain and cancer (how chronic pain can lead to cancer, how cancer treatment often ignites chronic pain, etc.) and the healing benefits of integrative care. Due to COVID-19, we don't yet know whether the conference will have live attendance in Los Angeles or be done exclusively online. Check back for details...

March Story of the Month

For Grace's March Story of the Month features Woman In Pain, cancer survivor and advocate/author, Cam Auxer. After battling a string of chronic illnesses since childhood, Cam recently faced breast cancer which brought on serious new pain challenges due to radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. Despite these hardships, Cam considers herself blessed as she learned resilience from a young age - and she embraces life to "lift others up."
