JINGLING THROUGH THE STREETS FOR ARTHRITIS

December 5, 2009
Official Web site: www.JingleBellRunColumbus.Kintera.org

Last year the Central Ohio Jingle Bell Run was FIFTH in the COUNTRY and now we are going to the top! Grab some friends and family and join thousands of runners and walkers pounding the pavement through beautiful downtown Columbus! The 23rd Annual Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run/Walk is just around the corner. This year’s event is expected to attract more than 3,000 participants, including 300 children.

The 5K run/walk is gaining a strong reputation as one of the ultimate family events in Central Ohio. This year’s run is scheduled for Saturday, December 5, in downtown Columbus, at the corner of High Street and Nationwide Boulevard.

Come to hear the sounds of holiday music, meet event emcee Bob Nunnally, Storm Team 4 Meteorologist and participate in the costume contest. Afterwards, enjoy a chili buffet provided by Max & Erma’s, as well as awards and great raffle prizes.

Home Assessment Program

The Arthritis Foundation, Central Ohio Chapter, provides the expertise of occupational therapists to help individuals maintain their safety and ability to complete activities of daily living. Occupational therapists, upon request, visit the homes of Central Ohio residents with arthritis. This service is FREE.

During the visit the occupational therapist will:

  • assess the ability to cook, bathe and dress
  • identify any physical barriers in the home
  • recommend adjustments and modifications in the home
  • teach the resident to use self-help devices
  • teach the resident to protect his or her joints and conserve energy.
