WINONA LAKE – The Warsaw and Winona Lake Arthritis Walk June 1 is at Winona Lake Senior Center, 1590 Park Ave., Winona Lake. The Arthritis Walk is an annual 5K walk (with a one-mile turn-around option) held by the Arthritis Foundation to raise funds to fight arthritis and spread the message that regular movement can limit the impact of arthritis. Day-of-registration check in is at 8:45 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. The Arthritis Walk also celebrates year-round movement as a means of preventing and treating arthritis. Just 30 minutes of exercise each day can be effective in reducing pain, stiffness and inflammation while improving mobility, according to Marcy Hawkins, Arthritis Foundation director of special events. “Sometimes starting an exercise program can seem difficult, but it’s important for people to realize they can start slow and have fun. The Arthritis Walk is a great way to get some exercise with family and friends while raising critical funds to fight arthritis,” Hawkins said. The Warsaw/Winona Lake Arthritis Walk will feature Honoree Charlie Frisinger, and Medical Honoree Matt Hauck.
