"Arthritis is a debilitating disease that profoundly impacts the lives of millions of Americans on a daily basis," says John H. Klippel, M.D., president and CEO, Arthritis Foundation. "The effects of the 46 million Americans with arthritis on the economy are enormous; the direct and indirect medical costs of this disease are estimated to be $128 billion each year. With the aging of baby boomers, the prevalence of arthritis is expected to rise by 40 percent - that is up to 67 million people – by the year 2030."

Moving is the Best Medicine is the message for the 2010 Arthritis Awareness Month. We're kicking off the month with two morning show appearances:

• See the photo of the Fight Arthritis Pain campaign on Good Morning America.
• See the campaign in the Today Show audience.
