Back to End the Agony

Faces of Arthritis

More than 1 in 5 Canadians live with the agony of arthritis, making it the nation’s most common chronic disease. There are over 100 different types of arthritis that affect Canadians of every age, gender and background. These statistics only tell a piece of the story. Behind these numbers are the deeply personal stories of 6 million Canadians living with this disease. It scorches no two lives in the same way. 

Many Canadians still don’t get how serious arthritis is. If you know the impact and agony of arthritis personally, share your story and let Canadians know.
