Arthritis Research UK has places is this year’s Virgin Active London Triathlon, and it would be great to hear from you if you are interested in taking part to support us.
Who are we?Arthritis Research UK is the charity leading the fight against arthritis. We’re working to take the pain away for sufferers of all forms of arthritis and helping people to remain active. Arthritis is a huge problem, affecting more than 10 million people in the UK – that’s 1 in 6 people, and can be anyone from a two year old baby to a 90 year old, and everything in between. Our core remits are funding world-class research and providing a comprehensive range of information for patients, the public and health professionals. We are committed to raising the profile of arthritis and improving the lives of those living with the condition.
