Lots of good stuff happening with The Arthritis Society lately... And I'm so proud to be a part of it!I've agreed to speak at two more Arthritis events coming up soon: Celebrity Roast Night on May 30 at the Fort Garry Hotel, and the Seniors' Active Living Awards on June 3 at The Waverley (yep, you read that right!).
At the first event, some rather prominent business folks will be 'roasting' their friend Charlie Spiring, CEO of Wellington West, over dinner. At the second, we'll be honouring Winnipeg seniors who have demonstrated commitments to healthy, active living. I'm not sure which one I'm more excited about... They'll both be fun to be a part of :)
I'll be sharing about my experiences with arthritis - an up close and personal look at what it means to live well with chronic illness. I speak very candidly about the challenges, but I focus on the triumphs and the people who have helped get me to where I am today.
Those people I talk about are YOU! And there's a very tangible way that you can be a part of everything that's happening. Tag Day is coming up on Saturday, May 12 - which also happens to be Fibromyalgia Awareness Day. I'll be needing people to volunteer for a number of roles, for all day or part of the day:
- BBQing hot dogs
- Taking donations
- Face painting
- Walking or running on the treadmill
Talk to me if you - or anyone you know - would like to volunteer. Thanks so much! :)

Lin, I can make it, for some of the day, as I mentioned before, it is U's birthday that day. Where and when? I make an excellent "walker", can kill TONS of time walking for you... can even cook some hotdogs after that... whaddya say, am I hired?
I'm in for something too. I suppose the treadmill would be the "best" choice, but we can maybe discuss particulars next week? :)
