Every dollar TRIPLED: drive research and change lives

Donate before Dec 31st to have 3X the impact!

Help fund life-changing research and programs in Canada.

For 6 million people in Canada, arthritis steals so much: mobility, independence and dreams. It isolates, impacts mental health, and can turn holiday joys — like baking, strolls through festival markets and celebrating with loved ones — into painful reminders of what has been lost.

But with your help, we have the power to change the future for millions living with arthritis.

Right now, your gift can go three times further, thanks to a generous matching gift offer from Serein Properties. Every gift made by December 31, 2024, will be TRIPLED to provide life-changing programs and advance groundbreaking research that will bring us closer to a cure.

Don’t miss this opportunity to make 3X your impact and help take back what arthritis has stolen.

New hope: Advancing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis

Thanks to donor-funded research, a new future is possible! A hopeful future with less pain, fewer flare-ups and better mobility for people living with arthritis. Dr. Yosuke Asano, supervised by Dr. Robert Rottapel at University Health Network in Toronto, is studying whether a newly discovered cell communication pathway that controls inflammation and bone formation may also be important in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The goal is to find out if targeting a specific enzyme can block this pathway to ultimately slow or stop the progression of RA.

Research like Dr. Asano’s could prevent joint damage and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals living with arthritis.


Dr. Yosuke Asano

Donor generosity is the driving force behind our research. Without it, advancements in diagnosing, treating and pursuing a cure for arthritis would be impossible. Each contribution helps fund our research, accelerating it to bring us one step closer to ending this disease.”
