Arthritis affects more than one-in-five people in Ireland so the probability of someone you love suffering from it is high. But what can you do to help? At Arthritis Ireland we realise that the smallest gestures that people make add up to make big difference to helping people with arthritis.

Every day, through our 'I'm Doing It For My Campaign...', people are raising vital funds by dedicating walks, runs, cycles and more to people they know and love who have arthritis.
