Glenn to participate in the 2013 LA Arthritis Walk - 6/02/2013

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's not mentioned in the article they referenced (that I saw), but the Arthritis Foundation - Greater Los Angeles Office tweeted a little while ago that Glenn will be one of the participants in the walk this Saturday.

Good for him!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

So cool that he supports good worthy causes

[Prettymaid]

One that's near and dear to his heart.

[zeldabjr]

Glenn is a good reason for me to support this cause...anything that affects our guys...yeah...

[Glennsallnighter]

Good for Glenn :heart: I hope it goes well for him.

[Troubadour]

Good for him.

[Houston Baby]

YAY Glenn:yay::yay::yay:

I'm sure lots of us would volunteer to be at the finish to put a towel around his neck! ;)

[Outlawman13]

That is too awesome that Glenn is going to participate. I hope he does well!!! No wonder why I love this man so much!!!

OHHH yes!!! I would want to be the official towel girl of Glenn!!!! LOL

[sodascouts]

Wish I lived in LA. I would sign up to participate if I thought I could keep up with him!

Good point. I wonder how many last minute participants they're getting? ;-)

[Troubadour]

That is totally something us Borderers would do (and then regret it during the entire walk!) Reminds me of the time I joined a lunchtime volleyball club because I fancied the instructor... I had NO interest in volleyball at all, and was horrendous at it. Looking flustered, sweaty and out of your depth is not the way to impress someone you like. ;) The worst part was, I dragged my eternally loyal best friend along, and she was even worse at volleyball than me. Every ball she hit went sailing behind her, over her head!

Oh, the memories...

HaHa, this is something I can relate to, even if not in volleyball. I was seriously addicted to volleyball for a long time. There's really no other way to word it. I played four nights a week minimum and tournaments on weekends. My knees decided I had to quit. My orthopedic surgeon, without me telling him why my knees hurt took one look at the x-rays and said, "You play volleyball, don't you?" Sometimes I dream at night about playing again... I could have given you pointers, Troub, and you wouldn't have been so out of your depth! Well, if you didn't live so far away...

I'm glad Glenn is doing this. RA isn't the worst thing to be diagnosed with, but it's still far worse than OA (which is why I had to quit playing volleyball) and a lot of other things. Too many people overlook it altogether or don't consider it to be something that needs to be cured. They've made great strides in managing it, but the meds have side-effects, and quite a few insurance companies won't pay for the meds anyway.

Apparently Glenn is getting an award! Below is a quote from "The Flutterbies" site:http://theflutterbies.com/tag/los-angeles-arthritis-walk-2012/


LET’S MOVE TOGETHER AT THE LOS ANGELES ARTHRITIS WALK!

"Sing and dance with us for a cure at the Los Angeles Arthritis Walk, Saturday, May 19th, 7:30am to 11:30am on the Santa Monica Pier, Lot 1 North. We know it’s early morning on a Saturday – but come enjoy the beautiful beach weather and meet The Eagles’ Glenn Frey, as he gets an award from Flutterby Maureen and the Arthritis Foundation for his tireless efforts to find a cure (Maureen will sing “Desparado”). We are donating our talents as part of Let’s Move Together, a nationwide movement that encourages people to move to prevent or treat arthritis, the nation’s most common cause of disability. Sign up to walk at 7AM. More info here: http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1001905
Here are the details:
SATURDAY MAY 19, 2012 – ARTHRITIS WALK LOS ANGELES"

Glenn is listed @ 7:30AM on the schedule. Another site I visited said he was to perform.

Great news!!!

BTW, that article is from last year...

[Freypower]

So he also did this last year & we never knew about it. :-(

LOL Sounds familiar. I joined the Jazz band in college because of the long haired, blue eyed guitar player :blush:.

But anyway, hooray for Glenn! :yay:

:blush::blush::blush::brickwall:

[Prettymaid]

Ha! Don't worry about it, GL. I've done worse. ;-)

[VAisForEagleLovers]

:blush::blush::blush::brickwall:

It's still good to know, since we didn't know last year!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Sounds like they auctioned off a chance to meet Glenn...lucky people.

From the LA Arthritis Foundation's FB page:


We are excited to announce Ron Cey, former Dodger, and Glenn Frey, from the band "The Eagles", will be at the 2013 Los Angeles Arthritis Walk this Sunday! Raise $1,000 for VIP access to meet them!!

[Prettymaid]

Wow! I wonder how long a grand gets you? :blush:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

BTW, there were pictures of a band playing, all teens, in the same tent. I assume that's what the guitar's there for.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

To go with the article GL posted from last year, here's a picture of a guitar Glenn donated at the awards gala...

[Freypower]

Bless. :partytime:

The one where he's shaking the woman's hand makes me remember February when I stuck my hand out & can't really remember if he took it or not because it was overshadowed by what happened next.

(Entire Border membership chorus: 'yeah, OK, OK').

[Outlawman13]

OHHH Jealous of that girl!!!! Thank you for posting those VA!!! He is looking incredible. I love that man!!!!

[Brooke]

Great pics!

Too cute how he is wearing his shades on his forehead! :lol:

Not me! I love hearing about it!

[Glennsallnighter]

Me too! Im still thrilled for you FP,

You know, if he does this again next year I might just raise the $1000. If it guarantees me a VIP meeting!

[Glennsallnighter]

So he also did this last year & we never knew about it. :-(

You missed it by about 48 hours FP! And me by less than a week!

Killer????

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It didn't show up on any Google alerts this year, either. If I hadn't seen the tweet, I wouldn't have known. I had to search Google for the pictures. I've noticed that you can find stuff on searches that don't come up in alerts (or a day or two before the alert).

[Freypower]

I hadn't thought about that. Remember how we wanted to get down to Santa Monica but left it too late? If I had left Australia two days earlier...

[Prettymaid]

Woulda-shoulda-coulda...there's always next year! :partytime:

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm thinking that too PM! I've gone to LA for him before....... I can do it again!

[Outlawman13]

I might have to go down there next year just to see Glenn!!!! LOL I know I wuold enjoy my time!!!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Sorry for the delay in these! Found these on the same FB page (Los Angeles Arthritis Walk) as the others, but did not have an internet connection most of the day except Kindle and phone. However, these are worth the wait!

[Freypower]

Wow. There is something about that second one. I normally wouldn't make an avatar where he's got his sunglasses on his head like that but...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Yes, they're both nice, but that second one is special. Wow.

[Freypower]

OK, you've convinced me. :thumbsup:

[AEW21]

You can really notice his blue eyes in these--gorgeous.

I hadn't noticed! ;) :lie:

[Thirsty&Hot]

my sentiments exactly! I recently posted that one in Frey Fever after I saw it on Facebook. I wasn't aware of this thread until VA brought it to my attention

those eyes...that expression... that certain je ne sais quoi
