Proceeds raised from this event will support research, programs and services for the over two million children and adults living with arthritis in Northern California.

Our first meeting is this Saturday, January 10th from 12:30-1:30P in Livermore (specific details TBD). We would love for you to come meet us and learn more about the Walk.
