Please consider making a yearend donation to Column of Hope - Chiari & Syringomyelia Research Foundation to support important research activities! Column of Hope continues to fund successful research to solve the issues surrounding Chiari malformation (CM), syringomyelia (SM), and related disorders. This research is important to those suffering from debilitating neuropathic pain and other symptoms, which includes many of the 300,000 Americans with CM and/or SM. Our research projects in Sydney, Australia, Madison, WI, Oslo, Norway, and here in Buffalo, NY are ongoing. Please mark October 13, 2012 on your calendar for the 10th Annual "Working Toward a Day Without Pain" Gala in Buffalo, NY! Please contact me at Barbara_Kane@ColumnOfHope.org to be added to Column of Hope's e-mail list and/or mailing list for updates. More information about the Gala can be found at http://www.facebook.com/#!/events/196964047053708/.
