Letter: Arthritis charity invites Northern Ireland community to join May movement challenge
A letter from Bethan Thobani-Hacker:
I am writing from Arthritis UK to invite the community to take part in our brand new arthritis-friendly movement fundraising challenge, Get Your Move On this May.
With one in six of us struggling with the pain, fatigue and stiffness of arthritis, this isn't just about fundraising - it's about helping people build sustainable exercise habits that can help manage arthritis symptoms.
Arthritis can also leave people feeling isolated, so Get Your Move On will also help connect a supportive community of people who understand.
All participants can choose a preferred form of exercise and set their own time targets and have the option to join a designated Facebook community group for support, inspiration and advice through the month.
We welcome everyone to join Get Your Move On and are delighted to support you work towards your personal movement goals whist raising vital funds for Arthritis UK to support our crucial research and support services.
More information and sign up can be found on the Arthritis UK website or by emailing [email protected].
Bethan Thobani-Hacker, Head of Public Fundraising, Arthritis UK
