It is estimated that 300,000 people live with the daily struggles of arthritis in the Capital Region, including Craig Wilkinson from Schodack Landing. Craig battles the ravages of this disease with an easy-going, never-sit-still attitude. He volunteers everywhere; Castleton Ambulance, Schodack Police and all three Schodack school builings.
