I love a good #rheumatoidarthritis campaign! I found this the other day preparing my content for another campaign for #ArthritisAwarenessMonth in Canada this September. Did not see my @thetorontostar feature til a year later, kinda fun! I am so excited to share my big news coming up soon with you all.
