My Story…
Arthritis is painful. It’s relentless. It’s devastating. It affects one in five Canadians, or six million, including 1 in 4 women!
As the prevalence is rising, the time for all of us to come together and end the agony of arthritis is NOW!
I have chosen to participate in the 5K and raise some much-needed funds that will fuel change for Arthritis sufferers while promoting the message that the disease is not what you think: it’s not reserved only for older adults; it touches 25,000 Canadian children. It’s not just a mildly sore joint; it’s a chronic disease that takes a toll on a person’s physical, mental, social and financial well-being. It’s not a small number of people who live with it; six million Canadians live with the scorching pain of arthritis, and nine million will confront it by 2040 if we don’t act now.
Please support my running journey and make a donation to support Arthritis Society Canada today!
