“I collapsed with severe back spasms, and could no longer walk. It was pain that I had never imagined being possible.” It took Jane 5 years to get diagnosed with axial SpA. Having started biologic treatment, Jane feels ready to get back to exercise. She and her friend, Lara, are going Orange for AS by meeting in Lee Valley Park to walk 8 miles to raise vital funds for NASS.
