Live One Day for CARRA

Our goal is to get as many people as possible to band together, help us spread the word about our organization and our kids, and to raise money to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for childhood rheumatic diseases.

All we ask is for you to pick one day this fall and do something you love in honor of CARRA, in essence to Live One Day for CARRA. The possibilities are endless... You can dance, bake, run, skate, bike, have brunch, hike, kayak, sing or even sleep for CARRA. The great thing is, anything goes and if you want to bring some friends along, all the better!

When you register on-line we will send you a t-shirt to wear during your “event”. Events can be big or small... You can participate by yourself or invite everyone you know. Your teammates do not need to live close by or even choose the same activity as you. All we ask is that they register, wear their t-shirt and do something in honor of CARRA.

You may have already signed up for a race, you may walk every morning, or if you need a nudge to get out there and start moving... Here it is!
