Thank you to everyone who supported the 10th Anniversary of the Walk for Arthritis! Funds raised allow the Arthritis Society to continue supporting the over 6 million Canadians living with arthritis.

Why Fundraise

With the growth projected in the prevalence of arthritis in Canada in the next twenty years, any funds raised now can be invested in finding solutions that will ease the pain of what will be 1 in 4 people. And for people over 65, that will be 1 in 2. It’s time to get moving on arthritis - now.

The Walk for Arthritis is a key fundraising event that raises much needed funds for research and programs that support the over 6 million Canadians affected by arthritis. Help direct more funds to research than ever before by raising $100 or more and know that you are making a difference! To thank you, you will receive a t-shirt on event day.

Fundraising Resources

When you register for the Walk for Arthritis you gain access to your own fundraising page in your participant centre. You can customize this page to let people know why you are walking, share it on social media, use it to start a team, and ask your network for donations.
