2016 Walk to Cure Arthritis

Over 1,000 runners and walkers will be on hand May 14 at Buffalo Bayou to help support the Arthritis Foundation and its mission to cure arthritis and make it easier for people living with the disease to achieve everyday victories. As the Arthritis Foundation’s signature, national fundraising event, the Walk to Cure Arthritis brings together communities to fight arthritis, the nation’s leading cause of disability, and is a great way to experience the power of giving back to your community.

Local honorees will share their inspiring stories of living with arthritis during the Houston Walk to Cure Arthritis. Dr. Patricia Rosillo, Pediatric Rheumatologist at Texas Children’s Hospital, will serve as the Medical Honoree. Dr. Rosillo is responsible for helping countless kids struggling with juvenile arthritis and educating their families.  Her focus is to educate and empower patients, their families, and the community.

The Walk to Cure Arthritis is nationally presented by Amgen and sponsored by Massage Envy and Aleve.
