Happy Pain Awareness Month!

Dear Members and Fellow Pain Warriors,
The first week of Pain Awareness Month has passed, and it has not disappointed. We are proud of all that has been accomplished over the past seven days, including the launch of several new initiatives to help people living with chronic pain. Now that Congress is back in session, it is time to take a look at our
People With Pain Matter website.
We are continuing to encourage pain warriors to participate in any way they can this month, whether you sign the Pain Awareness Month pledge or join our 30-day Challenge of Empowerment, the more individuals participating, the greater recognition pain warriors will receive.
This September, we want the entire nation to know the bravery and strength of pain warriors, as we know it is not always easy. We are proud of each and every one of you for your ability and courage day in and day out. U.S. Pain will continue fighting along side of you throughout your journey, and continue advocating for your rights.
Wishing you all a low-pain and high-spirits day,
Paul Gileno
Founder & President, U.S. Pain Foundation

Take The Pain Awareness Month Pledge
The Pain Awareness Month Pledge is a way to unite pain warriors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, lawmakers, and others in the form of an online promise.
 We hope that you will join us in our effort to eliminate the discrimination and stigmas within society when it comes to invisible illnesses.
Last year, 895 individuals signed the pledge.
We are pleased to announce that after the first week of Pain Awareness Month, we have had 635 individuals sign the pledge! Let's complete that goal of surpassing last year's total signatures and continue to acknowledge and share the pledge over the next three weeks! Thank you for your support thus far!
