Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Howdy folks, My name is Rich . I have a good friend who's mother has terrible Rheumatoid Arthritis. Turns out arthritis isn't just for the elderly. Since she was 45, she's had steel pins in her ankles, knees and elbows. She can't move without severe pain. My heart went out for her and I committed to raising $4,000 for an event called Humpy's Half Marathon/Hike for Joints In Motion. I'm on a team of 8 people in the metro area called Team Cobey. I'll be hiking 11 miles to benefit the Arthritis Foundation, my own knees are pretty bad so I can't do the marathon. So, now I need sponsors to make this happen. It's for a great cause that could possibly benefit 70 million Americans. Please visit my sponsor page and please please forward the link along to anyone who you think might would want to help. To donate or to read more about Joints In Motion, visit: http://richwilson.chariteam.org Thanks people, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 Hi Rich, I can't donate right now but I probably will be able to in July. That's so great that you're doing the hike. I walked the Honolulu marathon in 2001 and the Bermuda half-marathon in 2002, both for the Arthritis Foundation. I think I'm going to try Honolulu again in 2004 for the Leukemia Society. Take care, in VA~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >My name is Rich .
