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.
