Research tells us that regular physical exercise helps to improve both our body and our mind. This September, The Arthritis Society's Joints in Motion Program will be making history as they team up with the Royal Canadian Legion to participate in the In Flanders Fields Marathon. The marathon, which also is known as the Marathon of Peace, will take runners and walkers through the Belgium battlefields of the First World War. The timing is particularly appropriate, given that November 11 will mark the 85th anniversary of the end of the Great War. Traditionally, Joints in Motion participants run in honour of an "arthritis hero. "For this event, participants also can choose to run in honour of a veteran.

Des travaux de recherche révèlent qu'un exercice physique régulier contribue à améliorer tant le corps que l'esprit! Au mois de septembre, le programme ArthroAction de la Société d'arthrite fera date dans l'histoire en s'associant à la Légion royale canadienne pour participer au marathon Au champ d'honneur. Ce dernier, également connu sous le nom de Marathon de la paix, conduira les marcheurs et les coureurs à travers les champs de bataille belges de la Première Guerre mondiale. Le moment est particulièrement propice, du fait que le 11 novembre marquera le 85e anniversaire de la fin de la Grande guerre. Traditionnellement, les participants du programme ArthroAction courent en l'honneur d'une personne atteinte d'arthrite. Pour cet événement, les participants peuvent aussi choisir de courir en l'honneur d'un ancien combattant.
