The patient is the reason for OAFI’s existence, the engine that drives us to work and to move forward. Being a volunteer for the Foundation means committing yourself to our cause and helping us to carry out our initiatives. Sometimes we need the support of volunteers to publicise the awareness-raising and sensitisation activities we carry out, to participate in their organisation and development, to find out about their experience and opinion on the disease, to form part of study groups on the pathology, in short, we need people to help us give osteoarthritis a voice and give it the importance it deserves in our society.
