responses to color the world orange™ 2017
“Thank you so much for bringing awareness to CRPS. I started tearing up when I saw [the IPL building] lit orange, because it means so much to me and everyone else who goes through this. It means there is hope that the word will be spread more each year! ”
“I feel that finally we are being heard!”
“Thank you for all that the organization does to promote and bring awareness to the world. I was recently introduced to this syndrome after being diagnosed and the information provided by the Facebook page and website have helped me to understand that even though I was diagnosed early I can still be affected and help to change things.”
“Color The World Orange™ means so much to me. When I was diagnosed with CRPS, I had no idea what CRPS was. I felt so alone and helpless. I was in for the fight of my life and had many amazing health care professionals helping me along the way but I still felt alone. Color The World Orange™ provides me with so much hope and it is wonderful to see the thousands of people participating in this event around the world. I don’t feel alone anymore and I know that there are so many people out there supporting me, and everyone else that suffers from CRPS. Color The World Orange™ has helped me connect with other people with CRPS in my city and this has created a great support system. I can’t thank those involved with the Color The World Orange™ initiative enough for the support, hope, and awareness for CRPS. Thank You!”
