Ankylosing Spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that attacks the spine and other joints in the body, causing debilitating pain, fatigue, and stiffness. In severe cases, organs can also be affected and the spine can fuse into a rigid column of bone resulting from bone spurs. The disease is NOT rare (but people think it is!); more people have AS than Cystic Fibrosis, Lou Gherig's Disease (ALS) and Multiple Sclerosis - combined. So we need greater awareness, and this shirt can certainly help with that!
The Spondylitis Association of America (SAA) is the leading nonprofit in the USA dedicated to Ankylosing Spondylitis and related diseases. Learn more about Ankylosing Spondylitis and SAA at www.spondylitis.org.
Charis created this shirt late one night, fell in love with it, and ordered it directly from her Zazzle page (but Zazzle kept all the profit except for $.50). After learning how much others liked it, she wanted to figure out a way to financially support her favorite nonprofit with a bulk order of shirts (and support her own work, a little). And that led her to this fundraising option on CustomInk.
Charis Hill is a chronic disease advocate, writer, and model living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Her story has been featured in dozens of publications, including Arthritis Today Magazine, Mother Jones, and the Associated Press. She has spoken in a variety of settings to raise awareness, including giving a TEDx talk. She leads a Spondylitis Association of America Educational Support Group in Sacramento, is on the CreakyJoints Patient Council, and is a speaker with the Stop Stigma Sacramento Speaker’s Bureau. Her website/blog: www.BeingCharis.com.

I'm supporting this campaign to help Charis in her mission to make Ankylosing Spondylitis a commonly known and understood illness. Maybe this will even help people learn how to spell it correctly. :-)
I was diagnosed with AS 2 years ago and when ever I tell anyone what I have the have never heard of it so we need to it out to the public to raise support
I've lived with Ankylosing Spondylitis for 24 years and I want people like me not to suffer as I have in the future. Hoping my donation will help speed up research and care.
For Charis and all others who suffer from invisible illness.
We need a cure for this debilitating disease!
I need like 10 of these shirts! Well...ok, I came up with the idea, so of course I want a shirt.
I have AS and support any progress they can make in this debilitating disease. Plus I think the shirt is funny!
