 Make a gift that could help ease the pain of millions!
Opening a gift is a joyful experience – unless you are one of the millions of Canadians living with arthritis. Delight can
quickly turn into pain as swollen and aching fingers struggle to unwrap a gift. It’s just one of the everyday tasks that can be difficult, even agonizing.
For the one in six Canadians living
with the daily agony of arthritis pain, your donation to The Arthritis
Society is a gift of hope. Can we count on you to give
today?
Thanks to your generosity this holiday
season, we can work toward a day when simple tasks like opening a
gift will no longer be wrapped in pain.
Please make your year-end gift to The Arthritis Society now. Simply select your region from the list below and donate today!

"I need
TKR (total knee replacements) on both knees. I would like to
