I was just thinking this morning after reading Lene’s piece that the whole project is such an example of how the best advocates for a condition are those with it. I don’t think any arthritis charity or health org could come up with something so creative or empowering, which is a good reminder to people who work in health policy (like me, I’m not just having a go at us faceless bureaucrats without taking some too) that support isn’t about doing things to people, it’s about giving people the space to show what they can do. And our hands can do great things (even if they hurt like hell sometimes)!
