A great article about the For Grace co-sponsored CRPS survey ran yesterday on the National Pain Report penned by editor-in-chief Ed Coghlan. As a result of tremendous outreach from all-on-deck advocacy organizations and this article, we've already received over 1,150 responses - and we expect many more. If you are or have been challenged by CRPS, please take this survey to help drive better understanding which will lead to more research and improved life outcomes.

For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint is the focus of a documentary that is detailing her breast cancer journey – one that is unique due to her many CRPS complications. Veteran storyteller (CNN, CBS), Brian Bielanski, is producing this film that will spotlight the Chronic Pain-Cancer connection and one person’s journey into the unknown – a story that we hope will have a happy ending. Check back to see how this project develops…

For Grace, in collaboration with other pain advocacy organizations and Grunenthal pharmaceuticals, has developed an in-depth Complex Regional Pain Syndrome survey that aims to develop greater disease understanding . In order to truly comprehend this poorly understood disease, we need your help - and hope you will share your CRPS experience from diagnosis to current day. We believe this survey will greatly contribute to better therapies and quality-of-life outcomes. Please link HERE to take this anonymous survey.

This year For Grace will focus almost exclusively on the Chronic Pain-Cancer connection. Due to our founder developing cancer as a result of chronic pain and embarking on treatment that will likely give her more pain, we want to spotlight this link to help others challenged by one or both diseases. Our themed projects will include relevant Share Your Stories, a new  livestream on The Mighty, a documentary and CD, ongoing National Pain Report posts and a conference. Please revisit soon to see what's going on - and if you fit into this focus, we hope you'll get involved.
