MOVE is a two-week online movement and fundraising challenge taking place during Arthritis Awareness Month from September 16–30, 2026. Participants commit to 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week, while raising funds to support arthritis research.

Anyone across Canada can join! Whether you live with arthritis, support someone who has arthritis, or simply want to make a difference, you can participate. 

Not at all. MOVE is designed to be inclusive and flexible for all fitness levels and abilities. You choose activities that work for your body.

30mins/day, 5 days out of the week is the challenge benchmark, and participants can scale up or adapt based on their abilities and circumstances.

Anything that gets you moving such as walking, stretching, yoga, swimming, strength training, or everyday activities. It all counts.

You can adapt the challenge to suit your needs. Even gentle movement makes a difference, and we’ll provide evidence-based tips and support from our researchers to help you get moving.

No. You can break it up throughout the day in whatever way works best for you.

Yes, participants are asked to raise a minimum of $100 to support critical arthritis research.
