800 miles across Arizona to raise awareness for Fibromyalgia
About the Arizona Trail for Fibromyalgia Fundraiser
My name is Sirena and in February 2008 I began hiking the 800-mile Arizona Trail to raise awareness for Fibromyalgia. The trail starts at the border between Arizona and Mexico and ends at the border of Arizona and Utah.

It's not too late to donate to the National Fibromyalgia Association!
I have had Fibromyalgia for 10 years and would like to get people talking about this condition which affects 3-6% of Americans. Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is characterized by widespread chronic pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and other symptoms that vary from person to person. 80% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia are women. I will be raising money to benefit the National Fibromyalgia Association.
