Stay Active to Stop Arthritis Pain

More than 46 million Americans -- nearly one-fifth of the population -- struggle with arthritis pain. It's more than the "wear and tear" arthritis that afflicts older Americans, which most of us are familiar with. Rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile arthritis and lupus not only cause pain -- they can be deadly.

Staying active is crucial to alleviating arthritis pain, lessening its effects and keeping muscles, bones and joints healthy.

Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the United States. While organizations like the Arthritis National Research Foundation fund today's scientists searching for a cure, you can take action in your own life to manage arthritis and stay healthy.

In support of the 46 million Americans and 300,000 children who suffer from arthritis, I pledge to stay active and help those I know who suffer from the disease. I pledge to:

- Exercise regularly to keep my muscles, joints and bones healthy
- Encourage my friends and family to stay active
- Help those I know suffering from arthritis maintain their range of motion, reduce pain and fatigue and keep their bones strong and healthy
