Thank you for your interest in fundraising for Arthritis Care Northern Ireland. There are a number of exciting events happening in 2012 that we would love you to be part of.

If you want to get 2012 off to a stimulating start we have spaces available for our Amazing Abseils down the Europa Hotel on Sunday 1 April and Saturday 8 September. An abseil is a truly electrifying event - why not make it one of your New Year resolutions!

The Belfast City Marathon 2012 takes place on Monday 7 May. It's a great day out and a perfect reason to get exercising. If you don't want to take on the full Marathon you can be part of a relay team or even walk 9 miles or the full route.

If you want to help people with arthritis in Northern Ireland in a more leisurely way why not register with our new online partners, Save and Donate. Save and Donate have partnered with over 1000 popular retailers who pay cash-back every time traffic is driven to their site and a purchase is made. Save and Donate then split this cash-back 50:50 between you, the shopper, and Arthritis Care Northern Ireland.

The Amble for Arthritis will take place on Saturday 12 May this year and we would love as many people as possible to come along and suport their friends and family living with arthritis.

We have also planned a number of supermarket collections and flag days across Northern Ireland and always need willing volunteers to help us at these events. It would be great if you could spare an hour or two to help us collect.

For more information about or to get involved in any of the events above please contact Marcus Cooper, fundraising manager. Email MarcusC@arthritiscare.org.uk or call 028 9078 2940.
