May is National Arthritis Awareness Month!



MAY IS NATIONAL ARTHRITIS AWARENESS MONTH!

What an exciting month May has been! Being crowned Mrs. Georgia International just a few days ago has been the most amazing experience ever! Did you know that May is National Arthritis Awareness Month? I have been fighting rheumatoid arthritis since the age of 15. Yes, it's not just an old person's disease, it affects all age groups. That is the #1 myth about arthritis...learn more about arthritis and become AWARE! Let's bring arthritis to its knees!


The Arthritis Foundation, now celebrating its 60th anniversary, kicks off May with its series of Arthritis Walks to raise funds and awareness.

The Arthritis Walk is the Arthritis Foundation's annual nationwide event that supports public awareness and raises funds to fight arthritis, the nation's leading cause of disability. It is a tremendous opportunity to help improve the lives of the 46 million men, women and children with arthritis. Get your company involved or recruit friends and family members to form a team. Best of all, when you walk in honor of a loved one with arthritis, you know you're making a difference. The funds you raise will support critical Arthritis Foundation research and discoveries, public health initiatives and public policy efforts to improve the lives of people with arthritis.

I can give you 46 million reasons why you should walk...Join me today and walk for a cure. Click this link to donate!
