HUMAN & CANINE ARTHRITIS BY PARTICIPATING IN THE
"LET'S MOVE TOGETHER" ARTHRITIS WALK
SAN DIEGO, CA, June 2, 2010… Surf dog Ricochet, the SURFice dog who raised almost $25,000 for charitable causes in the last seven months is now raising funds and awareness for human and canine arthritis. She will be participating in the Eighth Annual "Let's Move Together" arthritis walk on Saturday, June 5th at the NTC Promendade at Liberty Station in San Diego.
Ricochet is part of the twelve member "Leash Your Fitness With Kima" team. Leash Your Fitness is the only work out class in San Diego where your dog is your work out partner! To join the team, or for additional info on classes go to http://www.leashyourfitness.com/index.htm
Ricochet's personal goal is to raise $2500 for the prevention, treatment, and research of arthritis. RicoChet has raised $1740 in the last week, and continues to take donations at this link http://tinyurl.com/237mgu8. Many donations have come in from her 8000+ incredibly supportive Facebook fans!
This campaign hits close to home for Ricochet, as her guardian and handler, Judy Fridono has been suffering from debilitating arthritis since she was a teenager. "Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I CAN do, rather than what I can't" says Judy. Although she is in constant pain, and horrible fatigue, Judy is committed to helping Ricochet on her journey of raising funds and awareness for various charitable causes. More info can be found at http://www.surfdogricochet.com.
Ricochet is also co-hosting a photo contest with her long time supporter "I Love Dogs" in an effort to raise awareness of arthritis. The contest is beach and surf themed, and the winner gets a big gift basket with all sorts of goodies! For more details of the contest, go to http://www.ilovedogs.com/2010/05/surf-dog-ricochet-and-i-love-dogs-team-up-for-a-contest/
One in five adults, and over 300,000 children suffer with arthritis pain every day. Arthritis is one of the most common health problems a dog will face. In fact, at least one in five dogs will develop the debilitating disease. Arthritis is the most common disability in the nation. As such, Ricochet hopes her arthritis campaign will help all those suffering with arthritis... both human and canine! To make a donation, go to http://tinyurl.com/237mgu8. Thank you!

Hi All
ReplyDeleteVery interesting read!
I could find nothing that helped my 13 year old Labrador who had arthritis.
Tried all the vet recommended NSAID's.
Came across a New Zealand Deer Velvet product 6 months ago on the "net".

On to the 5th bottle and Meg is doing remarkably well.
