Stretch for NASS is a simple stretching activity that anyone can do whether at home or in the gym or at work on or as near to World Arthritis Day (Wednesday 12 October 2011) as possible to highlight the importance of exercise for people with AS.
It's easy to organise, will be fun to do and will help to raise the profile of AS throughout the UK. Everything you need to know to organise a Stretch for NASS event can be found in the simple Stretch for NASS step by step guide. We have also provided a variety of materials to help you promote your event including:
- A Stretch for NASS flyer to promote your event
- A sample press release to attract press coverage
- An invitation for your MP
- An `I stretched for NASS` poster for individuals and
a ‘We stretched for NASS` poster for groups
for your Stretch for NASS photo
Stretch for NASS is also a great opportunity to stretch that little bit further to raise funds towards a new branch support and development fund that every branch will be able to access to support such things as physiotherapist training, awareness days and recruiting new members.
