Please sign this petition if you are personaly or know somebody who is affected by a ''young person's'' spinal condition.
The UK media do not report these issues and this makes it harder for young people and their families to know what is wrong with them.
People are being interviewed for causes such as cancer, alzeimer and other "more common" illnesses but they are forgeting about us!
It is important to keep raising awarnesses for all illnesses, including the youth's spinal conditions.
This petition will be submitted to all major UK television channels and news papers in the hope that the coverage of our cases will increase.
I have scoliosis myself and had never heard of it until I saw it on the report after my x-ray. If it had been in the news we would have found it sooner, the worst thing is, that I know I am not alone.
I never thought we would actually see this much traction when I first typed this out on my laptop during a flare up. Seeing so many people show up for this cause makes me feel way less invisible than I have for years. It is actually wild that we are finally talking about this stuff now.

My daughter had to wait way too long for a diagnosis because nobody talks about this stuff. it needs to be on tv so kids know they arent crazy for being in pain.
