Description:
Chronic pain is the 21st century’s invisible handicap, a humanitarian crisis of epidemic proportions.
Chronic pain holds back individuals, families often whole communities from their full potential.
We believe effective chronic pain prevention and treatment is possible; it comes through education and our goal is just to do that: to raise awareness and educate on the issues related to chronic pain. That way individuals and their families can make educated decisions on how to manage their chronic pain, reclaim their lives and be able to participate and contribute to their families and communities not longer being devastated by daily burden of chronic pain.
The event is designed to educate and fundraise on issues related to chronic pain and to benefit "The Chronic Pain Educational Documentary Series."
During the event there will be informational booths with educational material available to attendees, informational sessions and a silent action. Food and beverages will be available.
Massage therapists will be available during the event for free chair massages.
Companies and individuals are welcome to sponsor and/or attend the event.
