e-1907 (National day)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
- 1 in 5 Canadians will experience neuropathy in their lifetime;
- Neuropathy has over one hundred causes including diabetes, chemotherapy treatment and hypothyroidism;
- As of right now there is no cure for neuropathy and for a large number of people it is a chronic, debilitating condition with unpredictable pain leading to reduced mobility and independence;
- Many people diagnosed with neuropathy find that the insurmountable pain and loss of identity result in serious mental health conditions that, in some cases, has led to loss of life; and
- A Neuropathy Awareness Day will bring recognition to the impact this condition has on Canadian neuropathy sufferers and their families. There is no National Neuropathy Awareness Day in Canada currently.
