04/10/07 - Singer Lumidee Named Youth Ambassador For 2007 Arthritis Walk

TVT Records recording artist, Lumidee, has recently been named Youth Ambassador for the New York Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation's 2007 Arthritis Walk.

The annual nationwide event occurs in May during national Arthritis Month, raising funds and awareness to fight arthritis, the nation's leading cause of disability. The year's Manhattan Arthritis Walk will take place on Sunday, April 29, at Battery Park.

The singer has suffered from the disease since her teens, and felt compelled to help in the fight against it. "I was fourteen years old when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis," stated Lumidee. "At nineteen years old, the doctors said I would never walk. I worked hard and all that hard word paid off when I was able to dance in my latest music video. I want to give other young people the confidence they need to stop this disease from controlling their lives and ask everyone to come out and join the fight against arthritis by participating in the 2007 Arthritis Walk."

"Lumidee represents what can be achieved by young people with arthritis," added Jay B. Adlersberg, M.D. 2007 Battery Park Arthritis Walk Chairman, ABC-TV's Health and Medical Reporter, and rheumatologist. "We are proud to have her as our Youth Ambassador for this year¹s walk. We hope that her participation will inspire the 300,000 young people suffering from arthritis in our country."

The Arthritis Foundation is the leading health organization addressing the needs of some 46 million Americans living with doctor-diagnosed arthritis. The New York Chapter, founded in 1948, serves the boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island, and the counties of Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, and Ulster.

The organization is the largest private, not-for-profit contributor to arthritis research in the world, funding more than $380 million in research grants since 1948.

Singer Lumidee is gearing up for the release of her new album, Unexpected, which is slated for release on April 17th. A native of Spanish Harlem, Lumidee first came to the attention of the public when her smash hit, "Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)," reached the no. 3 slot on Billboard's Hot 100 in 2003.

Her current single, "She's Like The Wind," featuring Terror Squad member Tony Sunshine, is a remake of the Patrick Swayze cut from "Dirty Dancing" fame and is currently at 46 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Her album features tracks with Shaggy, Jim Jones, N.O.R.E., Snoop and TVT labelmate Pitbull.
