Sincerely, Mark Mark Dominici Senior Client Manager Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield MD/cms Mike Michael Garofalo Vice President Aon Arthritis Awareness Month Arthritis affects one in five adults in the United States. That's 53 million men and women. If you are among them, share your story during May, which is Arthritis Awareness Month, and let others See Arthritis. And if you don't have arthritis, explore the stories of those with arthritis by searching for the hashtag #SeeArthritis on social media. Arthritis is a leading cause of disability in the U.S. It affects working-age adults, seniors and even children. However, the number of working-age adults affected by arthritis is largely unrecognized. In fact, two-thirds of all people with arthritis are working age adults, ages 18-64. To raise awareness about arthritis, CDC, the Arthritis Foundation and other partners observe Arthritis Awareness Month in May. The goal of this year's observance is to recognize how those with arthritis live well and acknowledge their everyday victories. To do so, those living with arthritis are encouraged to share their story with colleagues, friends, family and loved ones, so they too can See Arthritis. Time to start a walking routine. Moving in May There is no better time than Arthritis Awareness Month to get physically active. Start or keep on walking –May is a great time to begin a walking program or recommit yourself to a walking routine. Physical activity has been shown to improve arthritis pain, fatigue, function, and quality of life. Walking is a great way for people with arthritis to be physically active. Ask others to join you for a walk. Walking is recommended —All adults, including adults with arthritis, should get 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) per week and do muscle-strengthening activities two or more days a week. If you take brisk walks for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you will meet the aerobic activity recommendations from the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. Don't think you can walk for 30 minutes at one time? You can break it up into 10 minute sessions and spread it out during the day—walk the dog 10 minutes in the morning, take a 10 minute walk to discuss a project with a co-worker, and walk 10 minutes around a sports facility or parking lot while waiting to pick up your kids from after school activities. Read more about how to start a walking routine or other ideas at: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/features/arthritisawareness/index.html To work the concession tents (serve food and beverages) at the Main Entrance Tent. Teams, student & community organizations and individuals are encouraged to participate. Volunteers will receive free parking, a free lunch and a credential to watch the Open on the same day, before or after their volunteer shift. All proceeds benefit Crisis Center North, a domestic violence agency serving Northern and Western Allegheny County. Go here to sign up: http://goo.gl/forms/TazBk4hW49 Questions? Contact Darla at Crisis Center North 412-364-6728 or [email protected] Please do not contact the PGA or Oakmont Country Club. This opportunity is only through Crisis Center North.
