Make Your MOVE
Arthritis affects millions of Canadians, with more than half under 65.
It impacts work. Parenting. Sleep. Mobility. Daily life.
This September, move 30 minutes a day for two weeks to help fund life-changing arthritis research.
The MOVE Challenge is about moving in a way that is meaningful for you. For some people, 30 minutes of physical activity is a meaningful challenge. For others, the challenge may be going beyond their usual routine. Your MOVE. Your Pace.
September 16-30. 30 mins/day. Make your MOVE.

Arthritis isn’t a normal part of aging

1 in 3 people with osteoarthritis are diagnosed before age 45.
Arthritis affects more than just joints
It can affect the heart, lungs, eyes, skin, spine and digestive system.
Arthritis impacts the Canadian economy more than any other disease
More Canadians live with arthritis than diabetes, cancer, heart disease, stroke and dementia combined.
And it costs Canada nearly $46 billion every year.
Arthritis affects millions of people in the middle of their most productive years
Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in Canada.
Research can change this
At Arthritis Research Canada, we conduct world-class clinical research that transforms everyday life for people with arthritis.
Our research focuses on the real experiences of people living with arthritis and what helps them live well: staying active, sleeping well, preventing joint damage, managing symptoms and supporting mental health. At the same time, we improve how arthritis care is delivered: studying treatments and medications, using real-world health data to understand long-term outcomes, and designing better models of care, including virtual options. Together, this work leads to better decisions, better support, and better lives.
