Arthritis is the nation’s leading cause of disability. It robs one in every five adults and 300,000 children of living life to its fullest. The Arthritis Foundation leads the way by helping people with arthritis live better today and creates better tomorrows through new treatments, better access and, ultimately, cures.

This sounds like an excellent event! One of my closest friends suffers from RA, and it is hard to see... Especially at such a young age. I had no idea how much it would affect someone's every day activities.
I also work with senior citizens every day, helping them cover the out of pocket gaps brought on by government Medicare at medigapgroup.com. I see many of my clients that struggle with arthritis, and it is absolutely heartbreaking. So many people are affected and it seems like there just isn't the medicine out there to truly make the pain go away.
I will definitely pass along this information to my friends and clients, I think you will have a great turnout. Thanks again for sharing this information, you have an excellent blog. Keep up the good work.
