Last year, more than 200
youth across the state and NC military installations did Our Nationwide
Outreach and Focusing on Military Families programs. The goal of increasing
awareness to help children, parents and communities in need all over the North
Carolina was successfully met. This year we added another level to our outreach
programs.
In addition to the military
communities, we are focusing on the native indigenous populations in North
Carolina. This year we are underway in our campaign of public awareness for
underserved communities affected by pediatric arthritis and rheumatologic
conditions. We all know exercise is “good for
us,” but the benefits can even be greater for children with arthritis – as can the
downsides of being physically inactive. That’s why it's especially crucial for
children with arthritis to keep moving.
