Arthritis Walk Kick Off Event!

Time to celebrate and get this party started! The Arthritis Foundation Georgia Chapter hosted its annual Arthritis Walk Kick-Off Luncheon today at Maggiano's Buckhead to stir up excitement for volunteers, corporate donors and team leaders. This year's walk will be better than ever! I will keep you posted on how you can help - let's move together for better health and to prevent or treat arthritis!
This is my friend Dorothy Leone-Glasser, RPN, HHC, has lived with systemic lupus for over twenty-five years. She has overcome two forms of cancer, disabling arthritis, kidney failure, a coma, one heart attack, and three strokes. Today she is not only alive, but she is living well and paving the way to the future of wellness by creating the Wisdom of Wellness Project, LLC.

So happy to see the sisters of AOII making a difference for those with arthritis!
With fellow Young Professional member and friend Heidi McInyre and the "Wisdom Walkers" team!

Visiting with my favorite superstar, Isabela - she's this year's walk honoree! She's had pauciarticular arthritis since age 1. I had the pleasure of meeting Isabela at the Juvenile Arthritis Family Education Day last year and being featured with her as the May 2009 cover story in Arthritis Today Magazine (click here to read the article)
