WELCOME TO FIGHT THE FUSION 2019!!!!
Welcome to Fight the Fusion 2019. This is the FIRST year rolling out this fundraiser. This campaign has been founded and organized by Karissa via The Lighter Side of Medicine - an illness blog that attempts to embrace the lighter side of having various serious illnesses.
One of these illnesses happens to be Ankylosing Spondylitis. It is a type of Spondyloarthropy under the umbrella of Arthritis. It begins with inflammation, most commonly in the spine and SI joints, then causes erosion of those joints, and ultimately the fusing together of joints and bones, severely affecting mobility. The age this disease is most often diagnosed is between 25-35 years old.
This campaign is to bring awareness about all of the various types of arthritis and spondyloarthropies, raise money for Arthritis Research Canada, and to have fun while doing so!
Fight the Fusion is about encouraging each other to be active, to be supportive, and help raise awareness for Ankylosing Spondylitis, all the different types of arthritis, and to raise funds for Arthritis Research Canada.
There are 8 prize packs available to be won, and the rules are SIMPLE!
A. Share a photo of yourself being active and use the hashtag #FightTheFusion.
This can be an old photo, a new photo, a photo of you practicing yoga, or taking the dog for a walk, or stretching out beside the fire, swimming, hiking, climbing, biking -> absolutely any activity. We want to see people talking about arthritis and spondyloarthropies. We want people to tell their stories about how inflammation has affected them and what activities are helpful. This can be done on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.
B. Make a donation of $10.00 or more to Arthritis Research Canada OR purchase a Beam by Nimbleback.
There is a link on The Lighter Side of Medicine BlogSpot page that will take you directly to PayPal. There is also a link to donate directly to Arthritis Research Canada. The PayPal and direct donations will have 100% of these funds going to Arthritis Research Canada. Or you can purchase an incredible BEAM by Nimbleback. With EACH purchase made during this week you will receive your Beam - your new best friend on the yoga mat - AND they have so generously committed to donating a part of the proceeds to Arthritis Research Canada.
By following these two steps you will be entered to win one of the 8 prize packs available!!
You can, however, increase your odds and get extra entries!
To gain 10 extra entries, you must follow all of our sponsors on Instagram, tag 3 friends in the earliest post made on April 27th, and share a story of how inflammation affects you and how activity helps you live better.
