Walk to Fight Arthritis Posted: February 12, 2010 Source: Arthritis Society Walk to fight Arthritis Walk for yourself. Walk for someone you love. Walk for over 4 million Canadians living with arthritis. On Sunday, May 30, 2010, thousands of people in 17 communities across Canada will come together to raise funds for a very important cause. The Arthritis Society is launching the Walk to Fight Arthritis presented by the makers of TYLENOL®. People with arthritis, their family members, friends and co-workers will unite to fight back against the disease that affects their lives and the lives of millions of Canadians every day. The walk is a non-competitive event and offers 1km and 5km route options allowing participants to choose the distance that is right for them. But the Walk to Fight Arthritis is more than a walk – it is a fundraiser, a celebration and a step towards finding a cure for arthritis. Participants will learn more about this disease, hear stories from people who are fighting the daily battle and celebrate their role in bringing us one step closer to a cure for arthritis.
