DOROTHY HAMILL - FIGURE SKATER AND OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST

According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 27 million Americans over the age of 25 are affected by osteoarthritis (OA), a painful joint disease that limits daily physical activities. While OA can hinder physical activity, routine exercise is recommended by the CDC to help reduce these arthritic symptoms. That is why world champion, Olympic gold medalist and “Dancing with the Stars” alum Dorothy Hamill has partnered with the Get Moving America campaign, a national initiative that encourages men and women to become more active to help reduce chronic stiffness and pain associated with OA. As an OA sufferer for more than 10 years, Dorothy knows what it’s like to live with chronic joint pain, and her mission is to inspire those living with OA to “get moving” and manage their pain.  Among the first national health campaigns leveraging social media to reach, inspire and connect adult OA sufferers, the Campaign is housed on Facebook and features a 90-Day Challenge where adults can discover new exercise routines from celebrity fitness trainer, Terri Walsh; receive advice from Dorothy Hamill; unlock virtual fitness badges; and get daily motivational messages. People can share their progress and experiences on the page with fellow OA sufferers. For each person that signs up for the Challenge, AstraZeneca will make donation to the Arthritis Foundation, up to $25,000.
