Dear Friends,

I am very honored to have been selected as the Arthritis Foundation’s Medical Honoree for their upcoming Jingle Bell Run. Today I’m asking you to support the Arthritis Foundation, a wonderful non-profit organization dedicated to education and research that will lead to better treatments and one day a cure for arthritis.  I believe that supporting the Arthritis Foundation is an important way to ensure research continues and that a cure is in the near future.

Nationally, the Arthritis Foundation is the leading organization working to find a cure for this debilitating disease. Locally, they are committed to providing research funding, help and support, advocacy and Juvenile Arthritis support.  People with arthritis face unique barriers to care: high costs of treatment, difficulty accessing medications, scarcity of specialists and coinsurance that limits access to treatment.  Through your commitment, we are able to accomplish the following:

—IMPACT —

• Research for better treatment options and a cure.
• Advocacy efforts for access to optimal care and game-changing medicine.
• Help and Support to inform, empower, and educate arthritis patients and those who care for them.
• Juvenile Arthritis support, ensuring easy access to life-changing resources, community and care.
• Community and Connections to help individuals and families with arthritis form meaningful connections and find ways to give back – getting the support they need while supporting others.

You can support my efforts to help the Arthritis Foundation by:

• Join my Walk to Cure Arthritis team – ‘Insert name of team” - One mile or 5k walk through Camp Mabry. This is a family and pet friendly event that offers a fun Holiday Experience for everyone!

Should you need additional information or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Arthritis Foundation Executive Director, Lisa Hernandez, at 210-664-3135. I hope that you will partner up with my team in supporting this very worthy cause.  Please visit www.arthritis.org to learn more about the organization and the helpful resources they offer.
