I teach yoga and other exercises at the Christian Ymca. I am always telling people with Arthritis where you are and the resources you have. I am Arthritis Aquatics Certified, with your chapter. If I can be of further use please let me know..

I had a wonderful experience volunteering for the 2011 Arthritis walk in Philadelphia sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation. They were such friendly people who are passionate about the cause and appreciative of the volunteers' help. I look forward to participating more with the group.
