Free VIDEO B-ROLL AVAILABLE VIA CNW - Mike Weir Takes a Swing for Arthritis


TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2014 /CNW/ - The following B-Roll is available by
Video On-Demand web download:


STORY SUMMARY: Eight-time PGA Tour winner Mike Weir will be in Toronto on October 20
to talk about breaking free from the pain of arthritis. In partnership
with ALEVE and The Arthritis Society, Weir shared his own story that
took him from the top of his game to one of the most challenging
periods of his life. After a 2011 golfing accident led to an elbow
injury that later developed into arthritis, Weir's career came to an
abrupt halt and, unable to do what he loved, he experienced physical,
mental and emotional hardship. The new ALEVE spokesperson, now back in
the game after a long road to recovery and making headlines, wants to
share his story in hopes of inspiring fellow Canadian arthritis
sufferers to break free from their own pain. Weir took a few swings
with guests to demonstrate correct golf techniques that mitigate injury
and provided tips on proper pain management reinforcing that arthritis
sufferers must stay active.
