The Cedar Rapids Arthritis Walk was held Saturday, May 4 at Veteran's Memorial Stadium. Despite the cold and rain a good time was had by all.
The Arthritis Walk is the signature fundraising event in the fight against arthritis. It is a celebration of year-round movement. Money raised supports the research, programs and services of the Arthritis Foundation. There are 564,000 people in Iowa who suffer with some form of arthritis; many of them are children under the age of 18.
If you were unable to attend this year’s Arthritis Walk and would like to make a donation, please contact Rosemary Schwartz, Arthritis Foundation Special Events Director at (319) 363-4403 or rschwartz@arthritis.org
