The Interstitial Cystitis Association (ICA) is a patient advocacy organization devoted to optimal care with support for people affected by interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). IC/BPS is a chronic pain disease that is not well known by the public or even healthcare practitioners, yet millions of Americans suffer from it. The primary symptom of IC/BPS is excruciating bladder pain, and secondary symptoms include urinary urgency and frequency. Many patients suffer for years without a diagnosis and miss the opportunity to make important lifestyle changes that provide relief.
Join us as we take our local charity awareness walk program VIRTUAL for the second year in a row!
This virtual walk can accomplish a lot of different goals, including:
- For those living with IC, we are providing great information on the condition from leading experts and the ability to have friends and family “Walk in Your Shoes” to better understand the condition.
- For our communities, we’re raising awareness of interstitial cystitis to help people get a better diagnosis and treatment.
- For the ICA, we’re raising funds (hopefully $25,000!!) to support the mission of improving the lives of those with interstitial cystitis across the country.
I hope you'll join me in the fight against IC/BPS, either by joining my team and raising awareness...or by simply making a donation! Every dollar helps!
