OUR MISSION
The Mission of the Arthritis Foundation is to improve lives
through leadership in the prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVES
Welcome to eHeadlines! In this issue, we are pleased to share the latest news on mission delivery and ways you can help to make a difference in the lives of those with arthritis, including adorable Emily from Hawaii. Yes, kids get arthritis too! We are very excited about meeting Emily and 1,000 others at the national Juvenile Arthritis Conference in July in Anaheim, California. Our hope is that all participants leave knowing that they can DREAM, BELIEVE and ACHIEVE with the support of the Arthritis Foundation and the caring network of families who share their hope for a cure.
  
Please join us in our quest to achieve a world free of arthritis pain.
