Fight the Fusion Week 2019

Did you know that there are over 100 different types of Arthritis and related diseases?
Did you know that many of these illnesses are not considered to be ailments of the elderly and that approximately 60% of Canadians with arthritis are between the ages of 15-60?

Fight the Fusion Week is going to be a week long campaign to raise awareness and raise funds for Arthritis Research Canada.

This is a social media campaign and will run from April 27, 2019 - May 4, 2019 in honour of Ankylosing Spondylitis awareness month in May.

To participate there will be a few steps to make during that week (with full rules being listed closer to the date):

1. Share a photo of yourself practicing yoga or another activity that engages the spine while using the hashtag #FightTheFusion.

2. Follow the sponsor accounts on Instagram.

3. Share share share.

4. Make a minimum of a $10.00 donation to Arthritis Research Canada.

We encourage everyone to share their stories and their experience with arthritic and spondyloarthropic conditions, to promote low-impact activities to help fight fusion within the spine and SI joints, and to share various coping mechanisms and help create a community.
Once the week is over, those participants who have made the necessary donation will be put into a draw to win a prize.
(We currently already have one sponsor who is offering a prize valued around $75.00).

Our goal is to help spread awareness for these debilitating illnesses and raise funds for much-needed research to find new treatments and new hope for a cure.

The illnesses we will be putting a face to Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and so many more.
