She founded Keep the Adventure Alive to break through the doom and gloom of arthritis and bring a motivating perspective with a possibility of adventure. She helps people all across the world find pain relief, regain confidence, and live very active lives. She has helped hundreds of people find their own arthritis adventures, and now it’s your turn. Alyssa and I talk about how she got into what she’s doing, osteoarthritis, myths, and things that we can do to help.
