In celebration of National Volunteer Week, I want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to the remarkable volunteers who make the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association what it is today.
Your dedication transforms lives. Whether you’re providing peer support to someone newly diagnosed, staffing information booths at community events, assisting with fundraisers, or sharing your story to raise awareness—your contributions create a foundation of support for Canadians living with spondyloarthritis.
Many of you volunteer while managing your own health challenges, which makes your commitment even more extraordinary. You understand firsthand the importance of community and support during difficult times, and you’ve chosen to be that light for others.
The impact of your generosity extends far beyond the hours you donate. Each conversation you have raises awareness about spondyloarthritis. Each event you support helps fund crucial research and programs. Each person you connect with feels less alone in their journey.
To our dedicated volunteers across Canada: thank you for your compassion, your time, and your unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those affected by spondyloarthritis. You are truly the heart of our organization.
