The non-profit charity Spondylitis Association of America funds research and treatment for Ankylosing Spondylitis. Science has discovered medicines to treat Spondylitis. The goal of ending this disease seems distant but you can help. Some cannot walk. Many like me experience high levels of pain. I donate monthly, but you can give a one-time donation. Thank you for your help. The link is; https://spondylitis.org/get-involved/donate/.
