    Thumbs Up Donations to the Spine Patient Society

    Hello Everyone,

    I've been receiving a lot of private messages about how to donate to the Spine Patient Society (SPS). We are a non-profit Society and all monies donated are 100% tax-deductible are put directly back into keeping SPS running (monthly website hosting fees, forum software, educational resources, etc.).

    If you would like to make a donation to SPS through our secure, online Forum software, please visit the following link:

    Donating to the Spine Patient Society.

    Your contributions are most appreciated and it is encouraging to see how SPS is growing and touching the lives of so many Spine Patients!
