This #GivingTuesday, you can help people with Spondyloarthritis access educational resources!

Thousands of Canadians with spondyloarthritis (SpA) live with pain that threatens to take over their lives. When you’re in pain, it’s more than a “bad back,” it interferes with all aspects of life, impacting work and straining relationships.

The Canadian Spondylitis Association (CSA) is here to help. Since 2008, the CSA has been helping people take back control of their lives and live better with SpA.

Giving Tuesday is a global movement to celebrate generosity, giving and to bring real change to our communities. Join the movement and give now to change lives for good.

Your gift supports a growing community that understands, shares experiences, and gives hope to people living with SpA.

“My dad always had a bad back. I’d heard the term ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but didn’t really understand what it meant, or that I was at risk of having it, too.

When I first suspected I had AS, I didn’t know where to turn. My doctor only had a basic understanding and online research was just making me feel afraid and confused. 

Then I found the CSA and attended a patient forum. There, I met other people living with AS who had their symptoms under control. I learned about treatment from an expert who would later become my rheumatologist. Most importantly, I felt hope that my future could be different. 

Thanks to the CSA, I’ve taken control of my life and my journey with AS.”

Melissa, 40.
