OCTOBER 12th, WORLD ARTHRITIS DAY!

“In observance of World Arthritis Day, the Arthritis Foundation is calling on all Americans to "Do Blue" on Tuesday, October 12. By dressing head to toe in blue--from blue do's to blue shoes--America joins in the celebration to make it truly a worldwide effort. Even some of our national landmarks and monuments will be dressed in blue (lights, that is).



Our “Do Blue” campaign aims at raising awareness of arthritis in all its forms and urging the nation and individuals to take action to reduce the impact of our most common cause of disability.”
