Our story…

Team Burns Lake is dedicated to Asia West and Demetria Williams who both live with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. This fundraising page was created by their auntie, Lori West, who is fundraising for a pain-free future for children with arthritis just like Asia and Demetria.

Show your support as they hit the Burns Lake track on Saturday June 12th at 2 pm by making a donation today or attending their run/walk.

Description

Together we're running towards a pain-free future for kids living with juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Please show your support by making a donation to our fundraising team or by letting others know that kids get arthritis too! 

In 2021, we're determined to make our BIGGEST IMPACT yet. We hope you'll run with us to:

  • Bring even more awareness of juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic conditions into the public eye. No child should suffer years before their diagnosis and no youth should have to live alone and isolated with their condition.
  • Set-up much needed support funds/equipment cupboards in clinics across Canada. The burden on families is greater than ever before - and we want to be there for those who need us most.
  • Keep making sure JA research is a PRIORITY! We never lose sight of our goals to find safer and more effective treatments for kids and one day - a cure!
