Aviña Colada

Team Aviña Colada is fundraising for...

We're 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.
