Scoliosis: Life, Support & Friends

I wanted to blog about our friends over at SAUK who now have over 600 members on their Facebook page! On their page they keep their members updated with all the latest news from the SAUK and the SCF. You can join them by visiting Facebook and Twitter! The Scoliosis Association (UK) is the only national charity that provides support, advice and information for people affected by scoliosis and the Scoliosis Campaign Fund is its fundraising arm, which raises vital funds to ensure that they can continue to provide support and fund research into the cause of the condition.

The Scoliosis Association (UK) will be holding a meeting specifically focused on infants in London. The meeting will be held on Saturday 26th June, 2010, at the Sir Herbert Seddon Teaching Centre at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore, London.
