Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month

As you may know July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month!

Indeed in the USA alone 300,000 children have been diagnosed with arthritis. So we thought it would be a great idea to support the Arthritis Research Foundation’s Twitter awareness campaign.

So how do you do it?

Simple.

Click through the embedded tweet below and the re-tweet it.

Easy. Just two click and you will have made a distance.

Please do join us and show the world how social media is revolutionising healthcare.

Thanks ever so much in advance.


Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month 2014 – can anyone tell me more?


Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid Arthritis

As I have mentioned a few times before one of the objectives of this blog is to support different awareness days (or indeed weeks or months).

I have a couple of news feeds and calendars which help me find out what event are going on. And then I sort of curate them (ghastly social media term) here at PatientTalk.Org.

So when i found out the tomorrow sees the start of Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month I went “Whoo hoo this is one for me”. While browsing the web for more information for this years Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month I found well. Not much. Actually Nada. Zip. Nowt. Nothing. Zilch. I did come across this online press release for last year (from the Arthritis Foundation) but precious little else.

So does anyone know if this event is still going? Does anyone have any more information. If you do know anything at all please feel free to add any links etc in the comments section below.

Many thanks

PS As you can see I’ve used Donnee Spencer’s brilliant Rheumatoid arthritis butterfly to promote the month if it is taking place.
