I just recently became a member on my local arthritis foundation chapter. I went to our first get-together yesterday and there was hardly anyone there. Maybe 5 people that actually have ra and 10 people all together. I was expecting so many more people than that. Anyway I signed up for our local walk thats held in April to help raise money for the arthritis foundation to hopefully find a CURE for US.
has anyone here done this walk? I don't know if I will actually be able to walk as I am waiting to hear if I have to have a hip replacement because right now I can hardly walk.
If anyone would like to support me in my goal of raiseing 500.00 for research for US I would really appreciate it. I think this is a positive step for me to help me cope, understand and accept what I have I have been dealt with.
I hope all are doing well and I just wanted to say that I love this forum because of the kind and understanding people on here. Even though I don't post much I read this board daily.
Thanks!

Please read RA and surgery (hurting) I have suffered so much from NOT getting RA treatment after heart valve surgery Dec. 1, 06, I can't tell you how important it is to get help before your hip surgery.
One person took extra predisone, but I didn't and paid big time!
Say what??
Brenna, I believe Crunchy participated last year and is doing so again this year. She might be able to share with everyone what it was like. I believe she did it with her daughter.
Hi Brenna,Hey Marianne - you're from the Cleveland area? I was born and raised on the east side of Cleveland - until time to start high school. Then we moved to Connecticut.
Cleveland is such a great city now! I love the way it is being revitalized and new life being breathed into it! It's so beautiful! (I can assure you it wasn't so nice when I left many moons ago).
Good luck with the walk -you both deserve a round of applause!
I do the walk every year, and am on the walk committee to plan the walk in my area. Awesome events:)
You guys are so lucky! :( The closest one to me is over 6 hours away. Blah!! I could never go :( Have fun on your walks and think of me!!!!!
