Fight the Fusion 2020 Update

Last year I started an annual fundraising campaign to help bring awareness to arthritic illnesses like Ankylosing Spondylitis. We had a bunch of amazing prizes, many from local vendors, and encouraged people to show how they #FightTheFusion in their daily lives and make a small donation to Arthritis Research Canada. 

While fundraising for various chronic illness organizations still remains a necessary part of healthcare research, the situation with Covid-19 has become a top priority. 

Although we have a gorgeous donated photo of the Aurora Borealis that was going to be given as a draw prize, we knew early on that this fundraiser would not look the same this year. 

So instead of campaigning for donations, we are asking that you continue to share your photos of how you Fight the Fusion AND tell a candid story about how you are handling the isolation. We are not asking for donations this year. I think 2020 will be a year where every single person struggles financially and medically. Show us how you are fighting your own medical battle with acts of kindness, uplifting stories, funny or inspiring isolation photos, and how you are staying safe during a novel crisis. Show us why being #highriskcovid19 is not all bleak and boring, but instead how much strength it takes to stay calm while being high risk. 

The donated photo will be put into next year's Fight the Fusion week draw prizes. 

Fight the Fusion week officially starts on April 27th - this year will be an awareness campaign only. We would love your participation! 

Stay safe.
