Putting His Mettle to His Pedals

Diagnosed with osteoarthritis as a young, professional athlete, Carlos Câmara discovered cycling and fell head over handlebars for the Arthritis Foundation's California Coast Classic Bike Tour.

"The Arthritis Foundation is a place where I can go for resources. It's a great organization where we can channel our support by turning our battle into something helpful. The organization is this link between people who want to help and the people who need the help."— Carlos Câmara, osteoarthritis patient & California Coast Classic rider

One of the most powerful things you can do to help others living with arthritis is share your story. If you have arthritis, care for someone who does or are making an impact in the arthritis community, your experiences can help someone who may feel alone. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, donor, volunteer or researcher — you can be an inspiration by sharing your Story of Yes.

Get involved with the arthritis community. Tell us a little about yourself and, based on your interests, you’ll receive emails packed with the latest information and resources to live your best life and connect with others.
