Walk to End Chronic Pain
Donación protegida
Hello my name is Stacey Bell and I am one of the Millions of Canadians and probably Billions Worldwide who suffer from chronic pain each and every day.
I've struggled with pain for 30 years and through that time I've found that chronic pain is not taken very seriously by the medical community.
I have Fibromyalgia and I've been treated like I was an addict and just drug-seeking, I've been treated like it was all in my head and I have been treated like I was just looking for attention. I've sought out support groups and other support organizations only to find that very little exists.
There needs to be more recognition of the suffering that people with chronic pain endure and there needs to be more awareness and support in the community in relation to chronic pain.
So after all these years I've decided to try to raise awareness for chronic pain by walking from Queen's Park in Toronto, Ontario to Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario.
This is approximately 400 kilometers and will take me about 2 weeks. My plan is to arrive at Parliament Hill on Canada Day 2018.
Anyone who wants to walk with me, all or part of the way is welcome to join me.
Please help support me in making this walk possible. I need funding to help cover the cost of food, lodging, my pace car, and advertising.
Every little bit helps, even if everyone who sees this donates just $1 it will make a huge difference.
I want to thank everyone in advance who helps support me in this event and who have supported me in my struggles.
Once the walk is complete I hope to be able to start some support groups in my area and virtually online. It isn't enough for me to raise awareness for Chronic Pain, I then need to do something about it.
If I'm fortunate enough to raise more than I need for my walk it will be donated to the Chronic Pain Association of North America to go towards building support in my community and then out from there.
Sincerely,
Stacey Bell https://m.facebook.com/ChronicPainANA/?ref=bookmarks
