Edith Harris

"I realized my arthritis had become a problem when I wasn't able to keep up with my husband and friends. I went to many doctors and either got prescriptions for pills or told I need to have a knee replacement. I started doing my research and came across the American Arthritis Foundation and spoke with a volunteer. I learned more in my 10 minute conversation with an American Arthritis Foundation Volunteer than I did going to 2 doctors and nurse practitioner. I know have hope and was able to find a doctor who does the AAF solutions! Great group of people!"

"Working with the American Arthritis Foundation has renewed my belief in non profit organizations. They are a totally volunteer driven organization that cares and is making a difference in the war on Arthritis today, I couldn't be more proud to donate to a worthy cause."
