The best pain reliever is exercise! Losing just ten pounds relieves 40 pounds of pressure on knees! Lose 15 and you could cut your kneee pain in half!

To get Americans moving, the Arthritis Foundation created the Arthritis Walk, an annual event to educate Americans about the health benefits of walking while raising critical funds to one day find a cure for arthritis!
