Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement campaign 2000-2010‏

 Great work!!  Mr. Tesuo Tanaka

Is this the Candy Candy blog?

I would like to talk a little bit serious subject today.  lol

Have you ever heard this “ Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement 2000-2010 “ ?

The goal of the Bone and Joint Decade is to improve the health- related quality of life for people with musculoskeletal disorders throughout the world. This campaign was proposed by Professor Lindberg in Lund University and was formally launched at the headquarters of the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland on January 13, 2000. This comes on the heels of the November 30, 1999 endorsement by the United Nations.
As the 4th campaign of the project for the Bone and Joint Decade Global Movement, Japanese adventurer and also as the ambassador of this campaign, Mr. Hukashi Kazama and his company ( a friend of mine is also a menber of this carvan) has been challenging “ The Americas and Scandinavia 20,000km crossing caravan “ by the bicycle due to announce and spread this campaign to people and seek understanding.
Mr kazama himself, he got an extremely serious injury when he participated by Paris-Dakar Rally.

This great challenging has started on May 18th in Argentina and later they visited Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Cuba, USA, Canada, and Norway. On Sep-3rd, they got in the last country, Sweden and today was their last day to finish the goal in Lund where is the birthplace for the campaign.

It became a sperical day!! I was so happy to greet caravan and to share great moment there.

Some studensts from the Japanese language course from Lund University also greeted caravan with their handmade greeting " Welcome to Lund! "
