My Story…
I am running to support a pain-free future for my daughter Alyssa and all the kids affected by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases.
Alyssa was diagnosed at the age of 3 and has gone through many medical procedures, taken various oral and injectable medications. Her team of specialists have been wonderful in supporting her.
I am grateful for Cassie + Friends Charity who is dedicated to supporting kids like Alyssa. They offer education, resources, research and support, which add great value to the care of the kids and families.
Please support me and my team by making a donation or letting others know that kids get arthritis too!

Description
Did you know that 24,000 youth in Canada are affected by juvenile arthritis (JA) and other rheumatic diseases?
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!
