Michael speaks out on ‘Take a Pain Check’ Podcast

Michael’s journey with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) shows the power of resilience and community. From years of undiagnosed pain to founding the Let’s Get Loud for AS Gala in support of the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association, he has transformed his challenges into advocacy, awareness, and hope for the axSpA community.

We Got LOUD for AS! 

On behalf of the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this year’s Let’s Get Loud for AS Gala such a resounding success. Thanks to your incredible generosity and unwavering support, we raised an astounding $125,000 to improve the lives of Canadians living with Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA), also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Let’s Get Loud for A.S. – 2023 Thank You

Because of your efforts and dedication, this event was a grand success! We had over 240 participants at Plaza Antique in Montreal, to support the cause and raised nearly $50,000 for the CSA. This will make a difference in the lives of over a half-million Canadians who live with this invisible illness.
