 Arthritis Walk
Saturday, May 4, 2013
Walk starts at 8:30 a.m.

An Arthritis Foundation signature event, the Arthritis Walk® raises funds and awareness every year to fight arthritis, the nation’s leading cause of disability. Participants walk for friends or family members with arthritis, and those with arthritis, our heroes, wear blue hats. The event features a 5K (3.1 mile) course with a one-mile option, with arthritis information and activities for the entire family.

To further the mission of the Arthritis Foundation, set a goal to make a difference. Raise $100 or more and you will receive an official Arthritis Walk t-shirt.

Participants gain free entry to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo and its exhibits for the day with walk registration and donation.

Sponsorships are available. Please contact Angie Smith at 216-285-2829 or at angelasmith@arthritis.org.
