ARC Vancouver

Move with Arthritis Research

Welcome to Team ARC Vancouver!

We are Arthritis Research Canada’s admin team, located in the Vancouver head office,  fundraising for arthritis research because arthritis affects over 6 million Canadians. It is often an invisible disease that impacts daily life in ways many don’t see.

We're taking part in the MOVE with Arthritis Research challenge by committing to 30 minutes of movement, 5 days a week. Every dollar raised will support life-changing arthritis research.

Thank you for supporting us and helping fund research that makes a difference.


Arthritis Research Canada is a national leader in clinical arthritis research. We turn evidence into better care and better lives.

Arthritis is one of the most serious health challenges in Canada. It affects more than 6 million Canadians, more than heart disease, diabetes, cancer, stroke, and dementia combined. It limits movement, disrupts work, and changes lives. It is the number one cause of disability in Canada.

And yet, it receives only 2% of available research funding. That gap is exactly why Arthritis Research Canada exists.

As North America’s largest clinical arthritis research centre, we conduct world-class, patient-centred research that improves how arthritis and rheumatic diseases are prevented, treated, and lived with. We conduct research that changes how arthritis care is delivered across Canada and how people live with their disease.

Love what you’re doing, my sister has had rheumatoid arthritis since she was 12. My mother had it for most of her life and lived incredible pain day in and day out. She had a total of 13 surgeries to either remove bones or try to straighten them through her last nine years of her life. It’s an awful disease and definitely does not get the attention deserves. Thank you for doing what you’re doing.

Hi Pia, Thanks for supporting this important cause. I didn't know that Ravi had been diagnosed - I'm glad he's in good hands. I was diagnosed at 23 and have seen some significant advances in treatment options, thanks to people like you :)

I'll be thinking of my dad. Amazingly his arthritis didn't cause him pain but it affected his daily movements in the last 20 years of his life.
