Waving for World Arthritis Day

October 12, 2012//Lene Andersen//

Today is World Arthritis Day. One of their nifty activities is the awareness campaign Wave for World Arthritis Day. The idea is beautifully simple, something everyone can do: take a photo or video of yourself and family and friends waving and submit it to the World Arthritis Day website.

So that’s what we did after the Thanksgiving lunch last weekend (or, as Ken called it, Tinksgiving)
