Move with Arthritis Research

I'm fundraising for...

I’m fundraising for arthritis research because arthritis affects over 6 million people in Canada. It is often an invisible disease that impacts daily life in ways many don’t see.

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

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

Why I am doing this!

Tuesday 22nd Sep
I was born 10 weeks early and got slight cerebral palsy in my legs in 1968.
I was a Shriners child from 5-18 going to Portland Oregon every year. 
I had 2 operations. 
I was a Care Aid for 10 years resulting in needing a hip replacement when I was 47, got it at 50. I am 58 now and still wslking eith a cane due to back muscle weakness and balance issues. I now use a tricycle but am happy I can. I have osteoarthritis early stages and wish there to be accure for the next generations. I enjoy the web talks snd information we get from the arthritis websites. Worth watching.
