CANADIAN ORTHOPAEDIC FOUNDATION
Move Pain-Free
Move Pain Free. Sounds simple. As a matter of fact, we take moving pain-free for granted. Our bodies are incredible, adaptive, self-healing 'machines' that often carry us for decades without need of repair. Until they don't.
Our story is your story...
We fall at work, we are injured playing sports, we are in an accident, we slip, trip, stumble, slide, fall, break, tear, dislocate... you get the picture. As we age, parts wear out. Some contract diseases, some are born with problems. For others, sudden pain. It is said that you have many problems until you have a health problem - then you have only one. Over 90% of us will have orthopaedic issues during our lifetimes. Let that sink in. Over 90%. Our story is your story.
Our mission is to restore pain-free movement to Canadians. Did you know that Canadian researchers are among the best in the world? Canadian discoveries are improving lives every day. Procedures that used to mean weeks in the hospital now take hours. Recovery is often measured in weeks, not months. We invest in Canadian research to help Canadians and the world move pain-free. It is our privilege to honour your donations with our efforts. Thank you.
