Raising $250,000 for Arthritis!

Today, we helped raise over $250,000 for the Georgia Chapter, Arthritis Foundation! Held today at Atlantic Station, The Arthritis Walk® is the Arthritis Foundation’s annual nationwide signature event that raises funds and awareness to fight arthritis, the nation’s most common cause of disability. Participants walk in honor of a friend or family member with arthritis. People with arthritis wear blue hats to signify their action in taking control of their condition. The event features a three-mile and one-mile course, with arthritis information and activities for the entire family. Pet's get arthritis too! So pet owners were invited to bring their dogs along for the walk. This year's walk promoted the Let’s Move Together movement, a nationwide effort that encourages people to move to prevent or treat arthritis. Thank you to all of my friends and family who supported the walk and donated!
Stay tuned for more info on our upcoming BONE BASH EVENT!
