Yes, they are right; arthritis hurts. Well said.

PS watching it again: 300,000 kids with arthritis / 200 doctors "that can help them" is 1500 kids per doctor. Wow!

PSS also an eye opening reminder that its the number one leading cause of disability in America. And yet, I think its largely ignored by the public. I see all kinds of resources for other kinds of disabilities, which is great, but do feel arthritis is largely ignored.

PSSS They are so cute. How could anyone not pay attention to that message; thanks for posting it!


They are serious about getting things done! Kids are so awesome. :cheerleaders:
