                 Beirut shoppers surprised by RA Flash Mob
100 talented dancers joined in a flash mob to increase awareness about RA in Lebanon. If you
didn’t get the chance to see it live, watch it now! visit : facebook.com/RALebanon Rheumatoid
Arthritis (RA), one of the most common and serious forms of arthritis, is a chronic disease,
mainly characterized by inflammation of the lining, or synovium, of the joints. It can lead to
long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function, irreversible joint destruction
and disability. RA affects 1% of the Lebanese population according to the Lebanese Society of
Rheumatology.

The 2012 awareness campaign will highlight the importance of early diagnosis by detecting
signs and symptoms of the disease. As part of the awareness campaign activities and to ensure
that the campaign reaches all segments of the society, the flash mob comes as a visual
message highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for people with RA so as to keep on
dancing and enjoying life. Not only did it surprise and delight the mall shoppers who witnessed
the ‘live’ version, the video has also gone viral via social media. This footage was filmed in
ABC Mall Achrafiyeh.

Credits: This project is organized by IRADA, a non-profit patient support group that focuses on
Rheumatoid Arthritis awareness in Lebanon. It was held at the ABC Mall, Achrafieh, and was
performed by 100 talented dancers from the ‘Moves Dance Studio’. Special thanks to: ABC
Mall, Moves Dance Studio, MEMAC Ogilvy PR, Martin Solveig …

                 Arthritis Introspective Gathering
Arthritis Introspective (AI) was created to assist an often overlooked population, those of us
living with arthritis and/or its related autoimmune diseases during the prime of life. The millions
who have been diagnosed with arthritis anywhere from childhood to middle aged we have often
heard, “But you’re too young to have arthritis,” or worse, “But you don’t look sick.”

Now, in “the prime of life,” we work to balance the demands of college, relationships, careers,
parenthood and disability, with the realities of life with a chronic disease. This balancing act can
be very difficult and very lonely without the support and understanding of someone else who
has been there. Since 2007 Arthritis Introspective has had the National Gathering, our annual
conference bringing together AI members from across the country for a weekend of education,
empowerment and relationship building, featuring health/wellness experts and motivational
speakers, along with plenty of time to socialize and share personal stories.
