Walk with us this fall!
The 6th Annual Western Massachusetts Arthritis Walk will be held on Sunday, October 17, 2010 at Forest Park in Springfield, MA. Registration opens at 10:30 a.m. and the walk will kick off at noon. Stick around following the walk for our post-walk celebration with food, entertainment and fun for the whole family!
The Arthritis Walk® is the Arthritis Foundation’s annual nationwide signature event that raises awareness and funds to fight arthritis, the nation’s most common cause of disability. It is a tremendous opportunity to help improve the lives of the 46 million men, women and children doctor-diagnosed with arthritis.
Get your company involved or recruit friends and family members to form a team or walk as an individual. Best of all, walk in honor of a loved one with arthritis and know you’re making a difference by raising funds to support Arthritis Foundation research, public health and public policy efforts to improve the lives of people with arthritis.
By registering for the 2010 Western Massachusetts Arthritis Walk, you are also becoming a part of Let's Move Together®, a nationwide movement led by the Arthritis Foundation. Let's Move Together® encourages people to move to prevent or treat arthritis.
