Welcome to Massachusetts
Part of the New England Region of the Arthritis Foundation
Arthritis Walks
Let's Move Together is a nationwide movement led by the Arthritis Foundation that encourages people to move to prevent or treat arthritis. You can join the movement by committing to walk in your local Arthritis Walk. But don't stop there...move daily for better health.
The visiion of the Arthritis Foundation is a world free of arthritis pain. Let's Move Together to reduce the pain of:
- 27 million people with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis.
- 1.3 million people with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that can lead to chronic pain, loss of function and deformity.
- 300,000 children (or one in 250) with juvenile arthritis, which affects children between the ages of infancy and 17.
Start moving today: visit www.letsmovetogether.org.
