Walk to Conquer CRPS History:

The WTCC began in 2018 with a small group in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A CRPS patient (Kristen) was discharged from the pain clinic after a year of treating CRPS with the 'only treatment that was available for the condition'. Without medical support, she wanted to create more options for herself & the future generation of CRPS patients.

The Walk to Conquer CRPS has been a special day for CRPS Warriors since 2018. Thanks to the Conquer CRPS team, the WTCC became an international event in 2021- allowing CRPS Warriors around the world to gather their teams & celebrate together, on the same day, for the same cause: To Conquer CRPS.

**Although it is 100% FREE to participate in the Walk to Conquer CRPS, we have also been fundraising with this event since 2018 & encourage you to join us this year for a very special cause.

What are we fundraising for?

This year, we are raising funds for CRPS patients who will be participating in CRPS research with the McMaster University Human Neurophysiology & Imaging Lab. (https://www.macneurolab.com/general-8). Their current research is focused on the use of a non-invasive form of brain stimulation- rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) for CRPS & have had positive results so far. Their team is dedicated to reducing the complexities of CRPS for patients & medical professionals by studying the effectiveness of novel, non-invasive therapies for pain management, along with other initiatives. They have partnered with doctors across Canada to have research conducted at multiple locations to maximize access to CRPS patients who wish to participate, along with maximizing the data results of the final study. With limited CRPS Research available- Every Patient Matters. Conquer CRPS is incredibly proud to partner with the teams at McMaster & across Canada to help them achieve their incredible goal of creating a change for the future generations of CRPS patients.

WHY are we raising funds for CRPS patients?

Thorough medical research projects like these require a patient to attend multiple appointments & follow ups. The rTMS therapy itself involves multiple sessions attended over a 9-week period. Many patients struggle to afford the rising cost of gas or are unable to arrange transportation for all of these appointments. It's also difficult to find a large quantity of CRPS patients who live in the same area of each Province, so many patients will have to travel. If a patient is unable to attend these appointments, the final data from the research project becomes affected. With limited CRPS Research available, EVERY PATIENT MATTERS.

**100% of funds raised goes DIRECTLY to CRPS patients participating in these important CRPS Research projects to ensure they are able to.**
