The single purpose of this organization is to raise the resources necessary to promote and fund the best lupus research worldwide. The severe impact of juvenile arthritis on the lives of an estimated 285,000 children is what compels the Arthritis Foundation and The Wasie Foundation to make this a research and funding priority. Osteoarthritis research has led to advances in our understanding of biomarkers, which allow for early detection and monitoring of the course of osteoarthritis. Funding for research grants in osteoarthritis biomarkers is being supported by a generous gift from Gordon and Carole Segal. In order for the Arthritis Foundation to move toward its mission of improving lives through leadership in prevention, control and cure of arthritis and related diseases, funding for the best research and quality of life programs is critical.
Breakthroughs happen every day.
