Living with spondyloarthritis can be difficult. The pain, stiffness and fatigue are constant reminders that the disease can seemingly make every aspect of life challenging. Donate to the Canadian spondylitis Association to help those living with Spondyloarthritis live a better life.

Having to wait 7-9 years or more to be diagnosed with SpA only adds to the difficulty and despair that many patients experience. Many feel like they suffer with a silent disease because on the outside they appear to be fine, and are often told by their own family members and even healthcare professionals that they just need to exercise more, sleep better, or even worse, that there is really nothing wrong with them.

Life for people with SpA is not easy. But there is hope. There is strength in numbers. Together we are stronger.

Together, we can do something about it. We can make life better for the estimated 1-2% (more than 400,000) of Canadians who live with Spondyloarthritis. 

The Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association (CSA) is the only non-profit organization in Canada dedicated to improving the lives of Spondyloarthritic patients and their families.

When you donate to the Canadian Spondyloarthritis Association we can together :

• Raise awareness about SpA and advocate for change to improve the lives of those living with SpA conditions, ensuring that there is equitable access to care and treatment including essential and innovative medicines.
• Develop and implement strategies to reduce the time to diagnosis for patients (currently 7-9 years on average in Canada, and women take longer to be diagnosed than men).
• Create a welcoming and supportive community for people at all stages of the patient journey to connect with others living with SpA in their community and throughout Canada through support groups, social media and events.
