Perfectly said from Michael Smith !
My question to you though is WHAT are you planning to do this year?
Michael posted: Thought while waiting for my access-a-ride: To all my friends with AS: Don't bitch about not wanting to be some stranger's teachable moment and then turn around and complain that no-one's heard of your disease. One of the gifts you can bring to raising awareness is your willingness to be that teachable moment, not just for your friends and family, but for complete strangers. In a little over a month, we will be beginning another "April is Spondylitis Awareness Month." Don't be an April Fool, be an Inspiring Spondy. Get out and share your AS story. The information you share with someone may change their life just as much as having AS has changed yours. AS is a life-altering disease, but when we teach, we can alter lives too.
This is a post shared by Michael Smith that really touched me.
