The Arthritis Foundation: Changing the Future of Arthritis

   
The festivities continue over at MyRACentral. Today, I posted an interview with Dr. Patience White, VP of Public Health with The Arthritis Foundation about the services and programs and how we can get involved in advocacy and fundraising:

"Arthritis is Unacceptable.

That's quite a statement, isn't it? It's the philosophy guiding The Arthritis Foundation's efforts during National Arthritis Awareness Month. It's why the motto for 2011 campaign is Take Action!

Consider the numbers:

Arthritis costs the economy $128 billion annually,
Almost 300,000 children live with juvenile arthritis
By 2030, 67 million Americans are projected to have arthritis"
