It’s game on for Rob Gronkowski and Matt Iseman on the Live Yes! With Arthritis Podcast.
This was not your typical discussion about chronic pain and arthritis. There was laughing. There were singing and dancing. There was even juggling. It was just what we needed to cut through the isolation of the new coronavirus world. Former pro football player Rob Gronkowski – known by fans as “Gronk” – teamed up with Matt Iseman, host of American Ninja Warrior and a longtime friend of the Arthritis Foundation who has rheumatoid arthritis, to share their stories and some laughs on the Live Yes! With Arthritis Podcast. Together they will be hosting COVID-19 Celebrity Challenge – Survive & Thrive: Together in Isolation, presented by CBDMEDIC™ to benefit the Arthritis Foundation, on Facebook Live.

Matt has been living with rheumatoid arthritis for years, and through his experiences, he has become a family member to us. He joins us at events across the country and has been a friend and partner in advocating for arthritis awareness and more – helping us raise funds and reach more people about the true severity of arthritis.
