More than 6million Canadians live with arthritis and rheumatic diseases, yet arthritis receives only 2% of research funding in Canada.
At Arthritis Research Canada, we conduct clinical research that leads to better treatments, better care and practical solutions that help people with arthritis live healthier, more active lives.
Your donation helps move that research forward.

Patient Story
Arthritis impacts all aspects of life.
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 25. The symptoms came on quickly. I was shocked that someone my age could have this disease. Four years later, I found myself bussing to the emergency room for what I thought were minor chest pains. In reality, I was in heart failure at 29. By the time I reached the hospital, one of the valves in my heart had almost stopped working.
Arthritis Research Canada scientists are leading breakthroughs in prevention, treatment, and quality of life for the 6million Canadians of all ages living with arthritis and rheumatic diseases. But there is still so much we don’t know about arthritis. Your gift helps researchers keep searching for the answers that can change lives.
