Hi there,
I wanted to thank AZ, I love, love the support that this group provides. I have been going for over 1 1/2 years. There usually a doctor that is a believer of our condition(s). We have a vast group of people that make it to our quarterly meetings. I love the group that we have. When I first moved to AZ in 2006, the first thing I did was become involved in a support group. And I found this one. It's not loosely organized, it's a well thought group, but not an autocratic group. There is time for all of us. I feel valued as a member here. There is a consistency of educated, compassionate folks that you just don't find anywhere else. If you in the PHX metro area, please give one of us a shout. I promise you won't be disappointed. If you give us enough time, maybe someone can ride-share considering the price of gas. Take care. Oh and the walk-a-thon? The last one that we participated in? It was great! This one is going to be through Conquer Chiari, and I cannot think of a more CREDIBLE sponsorship for this fundraiser. Please consider involving yourself in this worthwhile fundraise through walking, or raising money for this. |

I am glad that I stumbled along this forum and found the information about the walk.
I have Chiari and Syringomyelia. I will be looking into St. Joe's/Barrows as I am not happy with my current Neurosurgeon. Tina |
