My Story…
Hey everyone!
I'll be walking (because I can't run on these joints!) to support a pain-free future for kids affected by JIA and other rheumatic diseases.
Supporting the Cassie + Friends Society is so important to me because I believe that no child with JIA should go through it alone. Connection is everything - after being diagnosed with enthesitis-related JIA at 16, I was only able to bounce back because of my friends' and family's support.
C+F wants to make sure every kid with JIA has that community and support, so if you can, feel free to donate to me or my team page or share the link to this page around!
Best,
Carly
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!
