Post as often as you’d like and encourage others to join you.

Tag Show Us Your Hands so we can see your post and use the hashtag #showusyourhands to share with everyone!

Our theme for the month of June is Living Things.

We’re also adding an extra exciting feature this month. Our Advisory Council will look at all the entries and choose one they think is the best. That person wins a signed copy of Your Life with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Tools for Managing Treatment, Side Effects and Pain by Lene Andersen, our Director of Community Outreach!

We look forward to seeing your posts! Don’t forget to tag Show Us Your Hands! to be considered to win.
