The Atlanta-based nonprofit helps people living with one of 100 arthritis conditions find the relief and hope needed to Live Yes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arthritis Foundation + Yardi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Arthritis Foundation serves on two levels. Primarily, the organization pursues cures and enhanced treatments for the disease. Additionally, it provides a network of information and resources to support the 50 million adults and 300,000 children living with arthritis. Clients can access in-person and online tools that are aimed to empower, uplift, and promote a sense of community.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-24304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/05\/walk-to-cure-flyer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Marilyn Hansen, software development engineer III, development at Yardi has been involved with the Arthritis Foundation for about 20 years. She got involved when a loved one was diagnosed with the illness at a relatively young age.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have an adult daughter who has had to deal with rheumatoid arthritis for over 30 years. She\u2019s had multiple surgeries to help relieve the pain. There have been tough times, but resources through the Arthritis Foundation have helped her live a fulfilling life. She got married this past December and my husband and I really like our new son-in-law!\u201d shared Hansen.<\/p>\n<p>Hansen advocates for the cause in Sacramento and participates in the annual Taste of the Town and Arthritis Walk in Santa Barbara. During a typical year, Hansen organizes a team of Yardi team members to complete the walk and raise funds. She also helps with food prep for the events. But this year has been year of unprecedented change, forcing Hansen and the Arthritis Foundation to get creative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Social, supportive, separate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2020 Arthritis Walk was a virtual event. Per tradition, supporters registered online and formed teams.The major difference, though, is that each team member walked independently in their respective locations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had six people on my team, and they were all Yardi employees. We chose the name Movin\u2019 \u2018N Groovin\u2019,\u201d Hansen said. \u201cIn all, nineteen Yardi employees contributed to the team!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Team members set their goals and designated a time and place to walk. Some people walked in their neighborhoods while others passed the miles on the treadmill or in a local park. Although they were miles apart, they were able to pour their hearts into the event and support the good cause from afar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe raised $1,468 and Yardi has agreed to match that,\u201d Hansen said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not too late to support the Arthritis Foundation. The organization updates its Facebook page with virtual events. Supporters are also encouraged to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arthritis.org\/donate\">make a donation<\/a> so that the organization can continue its life-changing work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you live in chronic pain, saying \u201cyes\u201d to events and activities is a difficult choice.
