It's the first day of September, and this month has been proclaimed Arthritis Awareness Month in Amherst.
More than six million people in Canada live with this serious disease that causes debilitating pain, restricts mobility, and diminishes quality of life. That's one in five people in Canada who are affected.
Arthritis Awareness Month aims to raise awareness, and mobilize and engage communities to understand the devastating impact of arthritis.
