Join MOVE. Raise Money. Change Lives.

Everything you need to know to take part in MOVE with Arthritis Research presented by Beachcomber Hot Tubs.

September 16–30, 2026

MOVE is a flexible virtual fundraising challenge that helps support life-changing arthritis research across Canada. Move your way to raise funds, and help create a better future for the millions of Canadians living with arthritis.

Taking part is easy:

1. Register

Sign up as an individual or create a team with friends, family, or coworkers.

2. Fundraise

Share your fundraising page and rally support from your community. Every participant commits to raising a minimum of $100.

3. MOVE

From September 16-30, move your way for 30 minutes a day. Walk, stretch, cycle, dance, do yoga – every type of physical activity counts.

Participants are encouraged to adapt the challenge to their abilities and personal goals. Whether you are working towards 30 minutes during a flare-up or pushing yourself beyond your usual routine, every move counts.

Every dollar raised helps fund research that improves mobility, independence, care, and quality of life for people living with arthritis. And because patients are active partners throughout the research process, their insights guide priorities, help design studies, test tools, and bring expertise from their lived experience. So our work stays grounded, practical, and deeply human.

Your MOVE. Your Pace.
This challenge is designed to fit into real life. Your 30 minutes can happen all at once or in smaller chunks throughout the day – whatever works for you.

Managing a flare? Adapt your movememnt to what feels safe and achievable. Already active? Consider increasing your duration, intensity, distance, or trying something new.

However you participate, every move helps support arthritis research.

Along the way, you’ll have access to:

• Fun prizes and community challenges

• Supportive movement videos and virtual events

• A Strava community to track movement and cheer each other on

• Fundraising tools and resources to help you succeed
