What is RockyMountainArthritis Foundation doing now?
Juvenile Arthritis affects nearly 60,000 kids in Colorado alone and over 300,000 nationally to learn more about it go to www.rockymountainarthritis.org!
Arthritis isn’t just an older person’s disease. In fact, 6,000 kids in Colorado have it and nationally, it’s the most common cause of disability among people 15 years old and older. Even more unbelievable, 819,000 Coloradoans and 24 percent of the population have arthritis. But it’s not just one disease. There are actually over 100 different forms of arthritis affecting joints, the surrounding tissues and other connective tissues in males and females of all ages. So before you think only grandfathers and grandmothers get arthritis, think again.
