Raising awareness and money for Arthritis

The Arthritis Foundation is the nation's leader in helping the 46 million Americans with doctor-diagnosed arthritis take greater control through its commitment to public health, public policy and research. The Arthritis Foundation reaches out to the millions of men, women and children with arthritis by providing community-based public health programs, advocating for changes in public policy and raising funds for nationwide research that moves us closer to a cure. Arthritis doesn't discriminate -- it affects one in three people, including men, women, teens and even children. People turn to the Arthritis Foundation for information, support and resources -- it is for this reason that I am joining the Joints in Motion team and helping to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation.

My goal is to raise $3,000 for the Arthritis Foundation by spreading word about their work with the millions of Americans suffering from the disease. Your generosity ensures that the Arthritis Foundation continues leading the way toward prevention, control and cure of the number one cause of disability. Contributions through special events are vital to providing these services.

I'm so excited to conduct my first fundraising drive on behalf of the Arthritis Foundation. You don't even have to make a cash donation! Just donate your used cell phones, inkjets, laptop / notebook computers, iPods, digital cameras, & digital video cameras. Your used item(s) may be tax deductible and will be recycled in accordance with EPA regulations or refurbished and sold. 100% of the proceeds will help fund the Arthritis Foundation.

I will be collecting these items to recycle over the next few months. Please, if you are in the Boston area, let me know if you have any items to donate and I can arrange a time to pick them up or meet you. Thanks so much for all of your help and to those that have donated so far!
