Recommended Posts

We are trying to bring the Arthritis Foundation back to Oregon. A national

person is coming out here in late November, and we are having a meeting with

her Dec. 1 at the Children's Hosp. I would love these bracelets to get

things kick started. (n, 15, systemic)

Liz,

Thanks for sending the reminder to everyone. Hear, Hear!!! I know

our rheumy is very involved, and my goal was to get my act going for

fundraising after spring break, which just ended today.

Hi ,

Robs page looks great and he has nearly reached his goal. Rob is a

very good looking kid. Its nice you will still have him close by at

least for his first year of college.

When I read about your posts which speak of Rob's independence and

the requirement of you having to let him take over with some of his

health care needs, it shows me that there is going to be a whole new

chapter that many of us will face as our kids continue to grow up.

Sometimes, letting go seems like the hardest job of all. You have

obviously raised a great kid and its nice to have a parent on the

board that can give us a word of advice as our elementary kids will

be teenagers before we know it! :-)

Your site looks good--Hard to believe that is the face of arthritis.

Rob is a handsome young man. I still can't believe sometimes that

Brad has Arthritis and will probably deal with it the rest of his

life. I would give you are address but it doesn't have his picture.

I could not get Brad's picture on the page--How did you get his

picture added to it?

Just checked out Rob's site and it is great! I am not sure if we are

going to be able to walk this year - my youngest has a volleyball

tournament the day scheduled for Chicago - but if we do I will post

Chris' info. There are a lot of similarities between Rob and Chris. If I

can figure out how to post a picture, I will post Chris' graduation

picture. He has similar looks to Rob! Good luck with the donations,

Michele

I thought it would be great if everybody could post their Arthritis Walk

page addresses. I'll get it started....here's Rob's...

I don't think that their search engine works too well, so I'd love to

see

everybody's pages.

Alia, I noticed you posted about the AJAO convention. What did you think

of the agenda??

I didn't see some of the sessions that I thought I would...I was

especially interested in a session on spondyloarthropathy, for my hubbie

to attend, since he didn't get to go last year...

Please post your websites, everybody! Would love to see those gorgeous

kids!

The site looks great, Deadra. I know you'll make your goal. Good luck!

Our walk in Louisville is June 17. TeamSophie has done so much better at

raising our funds than I ever dreamed! It really warms the heart every time

I new donation rolls in.

Keep us posted on how your team is doin'. If you'd like to see Sophie's

page www.arthritis.org click on the walk; pull down tab and choose KY; click

on Louisville's chapter; then click on either my name ( Weber),

Sophie's, or the team's (TeamSophie).

Again, Good luck!

i'm walking this year too... and i think its important to mention that the

arthritis walk offers 2 routes (at least it does in my area) the longest being 3

miles and the shorter one is only 1 mile which is much easier to accomplish for

many more folks with arthritis (although, i know not all). they offer these 2

options knowing that folks with arthritis are not always capable of walking far

distances like in other walks for charity. you might also check and see if your

area is allowing participants to walk with their dogs. charlotte, nc is

allowing that with proper proof of vaccinations and i know that its easier to

walk with " my baby " than without sometimes!

[Editor's Note: Alison, thanks to you and your dog for walking " for the cure " .

You are right, for many of us, even a one mile walk is like climbing Mt Everest.

I can swim a mile but cannot walk one, so I am grateful to all the folks who get

out there and raise funds and awareness for our cause. Thank you. Kathy F.]

Wonderful that you did the walk... I always say I would like to walk for some

causes but my afflictions don't even allow me to walk very far in groceries

stores and I hurt to much after... But kudo's to you for putting in that

effort...

Love and peace always, Shaun and Barb...

Hi everyone,

This is Steph in VA. I survived Part 2 of my wisdom teeth removal fairly

well. Other than some chin bruising, I am doing pretty well. Today was my 1st

day on solid food. Woohoo! I even made it through my Arthritis Walk today

(surgery was Thursday). My team raised about $300, with more money still coming

in through May. Our Charlottesville, VA walk raised over $30,000!

Take care,

Steph in VA

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Join us Saturday May 5th at UVA's Stadium for the Charlottesville

Arthritis Walk!

Visit www.arthritiswalkcharlottesville.kintera.org to join a team or start a

new one. Proceeds from the Walk go to research and programs for people living

with arthritis through the Arthritis Foundation (www.arthritis.org). .

" Never underestimate the power of a small, dedicated group of people to change

the world -- indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. " (Margaret Mead)
