In another bit of great news, my mum received an email from one of the candidates in her constituency, – and my home town – Keighley, saying he was going to sign up to become an Arthritis Champion if he was elected.
It’s great that people are being receptive to the campaign and pledging to make a difference for people with arthritis in  the future. Let’s hope it really does make a difference.
David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband have all signed up to be champions, and there is still time for you to get your local candidates to pledge their support.
Simply follow this link to Arthritis Research UK’s website to ask your candidates to sign up for the Arthritis Champion scheme.
