Conquer Chiari

Conquer Chiari is our informal name, our goal, and our website. Chiari and syringomyelia are complicated diseases, which require complex solutions. No single action will beat them, but the combined efforts of many people on many fronts will. For far too long these diseases have destroyed people's lives, its time to fight back.

Education, awareness, and research are our weapons.

Compassion and conviction are our guides.

Strength, courage, and determination will sustain us.

We will win.

Coat Of Arms

A Coat of Arms is a representation of a family's heritage and contain symbols which define them; that is why we chose a Coat of Arms to represent the Conquer Chiari effort.:

The Conquer Chiari Coat of Arms contains four symbols on its shield representative of our mission:

1) A ribbon representing Awareness
2) A book with magnifying glasses representing both Education and the search for answers
3) A microscope representing Research
4) The Rx symbol representing a Cure

Behind the shield lie a Caduceus and rising sun. The Caduceus - a well known symbol for medicine - represents our partnership the medical community, while its sword like shape represents both the surgical aspect of the disease and invites to take the fight to our enemy. The sun, rising behind the shield, represents the promise of a day when Chiari and syringomyelia are conquered.

Finally, beneath the shield lies a banner with our call to action, "Join The Battle"; for this is not a fight that can be won alone. It will take the combined efforts of each and every one of us to put an end to this fight once and for all.
