Deerfield Beach, FL (October, 2009) -- The one and only 4-time Heavyweight Champion of the World, Evander Holyfield steps into the ring with The Arthritis Foundation to promote the Show Us Your Moves campaign. Get into the ring with The Balancing Act—and tune in October 15th on Lifetime Television at 7:30a.m. (Eastern/Pacific—check your local listings)
The Arthritis Foundation has asked Evander to join in promoting physical activity, since it’s such an important part of his life. Evander agrees and encourages everyone to participant in the Show Us Your Moves campaign. His message is that you don't have to be an elite athlete to be active. Simple activity such as walking can help you stay healthy and feel good.
What is the Show Us Your Moves campaign? It’s not only a campaign—it’s also an exciting contest that encourages physical activity as part of The Arthritis Foundation’s fight against arthritis. For the Show Us Your Moves contest-- all you have to do is submit your video of your favorite ways to move together! Monthly winners receive a Flip Camera!

The Balancing Act also welcomes to the program Jen Vido, Volunteer for The Arthritis Foundation’s Aquatic and Land Exercise Programs. Jen was diagnosed at 8-years old—with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Jen says, “Even as a child, I realized that my life, as I knew it, would never be the same. In my adult years, I have come to understand how my disease has become an integral part of the person I am today.”
Jen, as well as many other advocates for The Arthritis Foundation are promoting exercise, as well as the Show Us Your Moves campaign. Jen adds, “One thing I know for sure is that exercise has been a key component in maintaining the range of motion in my joints. Through water therapy, simple yoga stretches and golf, I have been able to enjoy a healthy lifestyle that enables me to meet the daily challenges that a person with a chronic disease faces each and every day.”
The Arthritis Foundation understands that movement is sometimes challenging for those living with arthritis. Their Let's Move Together movement, and their Show Us Your Moves campaign supports and cheers every step, every movement, every physical victory, every day!
