Arthritis is a general term that literally means "inflammation of the joints." The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which is caused by wear and tear on joint cartilage. Another form is rheumatoid arthritis, which causes joint inflammation due to an immune system disorder.
The aim of treatment in arthritis is to control the arthritis and prevent further joint deterioration. However, occasionally, when the arthritis is severe or progressive or the patient presents for treatment late, the joint affected by the arthritis can be damaged irreparably. This will result in pain and loss of mobility. In selected cases, the damaged joint can be replaced by an artificial one by undergoing joint replacement surgery. This procedure can relieve pain, restore mobility and normalise joint function and make a tremendous impact in improving the quality of life of the patient.
The total cost of the surgery may be beyond the reach of many patients. Hence, many patients forego surgery and continue to deteriorate and suffer in pain because they are unable to afford to bear the high cost.
Columbia Asia Hospital – Nusajaya and the Arthritis Foundation Malaysia (AFM) recognizes this area of need and are working in collaboration to raise funds from this charity walk event to support those patients who require a joint replacement but lack the financial means.
“Pain Relief is a Human Right, Walk with us to make it Right!”
Contribution per person will be RM30.

Such events are not only fun but also great to be organized to help needy people. I am also looking for venues in DC to plan for similar charity event. Please share if you have any suggestion for me?
