Check out For Grace’s November Story of the Month. Woman in pain Rebecca May’s simple handspring and ensuing snap changed her life forever. She quickly developed CRPS and Kienbock’s Disease, both which went undiagnosed for years. She took pills and wore a cast, but nothing helped. Eventually, Rebecca regained quality of life by discovering her pain triggers and conserving energy. Also, by using laughter. As she shares, “Humor gets me through the toughest parts.”

This new concern is born out of our founder's recent remission from triple-negative breast cancer (the worst prognosis) - and her concern of a recurrence. The For Grace team sends our good energies to all who have survived this brutal disease, and who've been traumatized by the treatment and live in anxiety as a result...
