Comments:HUNDREDS WILL WALK THIS MAY FOR A WORLD WITHOUT ARTHRITIS
This May, the Vancouver and Portland Metro areas will join together at Esther Short Park to bring all of us one step closer to finding a cure for arthritis. The Walk to Cure Arthritis will be held on Saturday, May 16th at Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver. This is a no-fee registration walk; we encourage everyone to attend!
Walkers can register online at www.Vancouver WalkToCureArthritis.org ; there is also an option to register on May 16 at the park. Health Fair, Kid Zone and day of Registration will open at 9am. Walkers participating in the one mile or three mile course will begin at 10:00am. After walking, participants will enjoy: Kid Zone, Raffle Prizes, Food, beverages, health fair, ask your doctor and vet booths as well as music.
Supporters will participate because this is truly a not-to-be-missed family friendly event, but they will also walk because they know arthritis is not acceptable.
