World Arthritis Day 2021
Did you catch Michael Kuluva’s Tumblr and Tipsy show at New York Fashion Week? Featuring arthritis advocates from around the world, the event also showcased a t-shirt collaboration with Canadian based advocate Eileen Davidson. The shirts feature the phrase “Fiercely Fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis,” which Eileen does by pushing for change and educating others on the toll this disease takes on a person.
This made us wonder how others in the arthritis community fiercely fight their disease.
For World Arthritis Day, the Global Healthy Living Foundation and CreakyJoints are embracing the idea of “fiercely fighting arthritis” as a rallying cry for the global arthritis community.
If you live with any form of arthritis, please join our global campaign to “fiercely fight arthritis”.
Here’s how:
1. Click to download and print one of the signs below, created by Eileen Davidson.
(Don’t have a printer available? Add text to your photo or create your own “Fiercely Fighting Arthritis” sign!)
2. Take a picture or video of yourself holding the sign.
3. Share your photo on social media and tag @CreakyJoints (Twitter/Facebook) / @Creaky_Joints (Instagram) and use hashtags #WorldArthritisDay and #FiercelyFightingArthritis.

By living large and pushing myself beyond the boundaries of disease. I celebrate each moment, because despite the challenges, they remind me how grateful I am to have this life.
