VROOM! VROOM! It's time to pull up to the starting line...

AiArthritis is the only nonprofit in the world who focuses on the two dozen "AUTO" (autoimmune and autoinflammatory) diseases that include inflammatory arthritis (different than the more common, degenerative arthritis) as a major component. Founded by patients, we recognized lack of awareness leads to relationship conflicts, delayed diagnosis, compromised quality of life, and elevated healthcare costs.  For this reason, the first project we created as a nonprofit (way back in 2012), was World AUTOimmune & AUTOinflammatory Arthritis Day.

Please consider starting YOUR Race Team to support the work we do for this event, as well as the 100's of peer-created educational materials, research, and advocacy to improve lives. In addition to DRIVING donations, we will connect you with awareness and education resources and other tools to make your awareness and support efforts take off!
