Be a rest stop volunteer! Decorate the rest stop and keep it stocked at all times with water and snacks. Break down and clean up the area when the last walker passes through the area.
Heroes Area:
Create an outstanding area for our heroes, including balloons, blue heroes caps, pins, and more! Be as creative as you want!

Create an exciting advocacy area where you can collect signatures for upcoming legislative bills and sign up people to become advocates for arthritis!
