Gianna and her family are so excited that she is the 2012 Youth Honoree for the Essex County Arthritis Walk. Gianna was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at 2 ½ years old, and is now a very active 9 year old athlete who loves to help everyone and try everything! She is blessed with a wonderful family that loves her unconditionally. As Gianna gets older, she understands more and more about arthritis, and loves knowing how many people support her and her family in their search for a cure!

Thank you for participating in the 2012 Arthritis Walk®!
The Arthritis Walk® is the signature fundraising event for the Arthritis Foundation. But it's not just an event, it's a celebration of year-round movement to help prevent and treat arthritis.
Every year we get together to celebrate movement and make a positive impact on the lives of people living with arthritis by raising funds for arthritis research, education and life improvement programs in communities across the country.
Our rallying cry, Let's Move Together® encourages people to get up and get moving. When you join us at the Arthritis Walk®, you're not moving alone-you are becoming part of a community looking to achieve better health and change lives at the same time. We hope to see you there!
