Hi, I’m Eileen — and I’m moving for arthritis research.
If you’re new here, I live with multiple forms of arthritis and have spent years learning how to move with a body that doesn’t always cooperate. I’ve had a lot of help with learning how to do this, that help came from Arthritis Research Canada.
Movement looks different for me now.
Sometimes it’s strength training.
Sometimes it’s hiking or the elliptical.
Sometimes it’s gardening, stretching or walking.
Sometimes it’s breaking movement into a few minutes at a time.
And sometimes, taking a break is part of the plan.
This September, I’m taking part in MOVE With Arthritis Research, challenging myself to get 30 minutes of movement each day while raising money for Arthritis Research Canada.
This campaign is personal to me.
I live with arthritis every day. I’ve seen how much research can change our understanding of the disease, improve treatment and help people live better.
I also want to show something important along the way:
Movement with arthritis does not have to look perfect.
It can be adapted.
It can be slow.
It can be broken up.
It can look completely different from one day to the next.
Over the rest of the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some of the different ways I MOVE - the good days, the modifications, the breaks and all.
And while I do the moving, I’m asking you to help me move arthritis research forward.
If you can donate to my fundraising page, thank you. If you can share my fundraiser, that helps too. ❤️
Let’s MOVE for better arthritis care, better treatments and a better future.
