At this year's Walk to Cure Arthritis we planned to use pinwheels to represent our connection to arthritis and a symbol for our community in motion. Since we didn't get to do this in person, I'd like to take a moment to share our pinwheels!
Green: represented by Steven Rowland our adult honoree
Steven Rowland has lived with the challenges of axial spondyloarthritis and understands firsthand the physical and emotional impact arthritis can have on daily life. As a fantasy author, he uses storytelling to bring awareness to chronic pain and invisible illness, inspired by his own journey. Through storytelling and
advocacy, Steven hopes to help others feel seen, understood, and less alone while raising awareness for the arthritis community.
For those of you that are carrying an invisible green pinwheel, this community stands with you! Drop a green heart in the comments to recognize those living with arthritis ๐๐
