TORONTO, April 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Urban Poling Inc. is proud to support its valued partner, the Arthritis Foundation, as it launches its Green Heart Fridays campaign—a nationwide initiative held throughout May in celebration of Arthritis Awareness Month. At the core of this campaign is the Arthritis Foundation's iconic green heart, symbolizing support and unity for nearly 60 million adults and children across the United States living with arthritis. Starting May 1 and every Friday in May, please be sure to share a green heart on social media and do your part in raising awareness and promoting solidarity for the arthritis community. This year, artists in 11 cities have been commissioned to create unique green heart-inspired artwork, displayed publicly for people to discover and collect.

In honor of Arthritis Awareness Month this May, Activator® is proud to partner with the Arthritis Foundation to promote active living and joint health. Designed specifically for stability and weight-bearing support, Activator® Poles help those living with arthritis maintain independence and mobility. Join us every Friday for #GreenHeartFridays as we celebrate the community and share tools designed to reduce joint stress and improve quality of life.

Enhance your stride with the patented Activator® Walking Poles, featured here alongside the Arthritis Foundation's May Awareness initiative. Engineered with an ergonomic CoreGrip® and anti-vibration technology, these poles are designed to reduce impact on wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Whether you're managing joint pain or looking for extra stability on the trails, our bell-shaped tips and secure button-locking system provide the confidence to keep moving safely.
