My Story…
Hey everyone,
It's been quite a year since my diagnosis. Many of you have seen or heard of the crazy up and downs I've been through during this journey. Cassie and Friends has been an awesome source of info for my family. If you're able, it would be nice if you could join us on Oct 16th to help raise money for other kids/teens going through Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis like me.
I have registered for the 5K run/walk as I'm not quite Marathon ready yet.
If you would like to join my team with in person or through a donation, please do so on this page.
If you have any other questions, let me know.

Description
This year, I will be running in support of kids and families affected by juvenile arthritis (JA) and other rheumatic diseases with Cassie + Friends Society. Cassie + Friends is a national charity focused 100% on kids and families impacted by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Cassie + Friends provides much needed education, awareness, support programs, advocacy and research to families across Canada.
What is JA?
JA is an incurable autoimmune disease in kids that attacks healthy joints and steals childhoods. It’s just as common as Juvenile Diabetes (every 3 in 1000 kids) and yet receives a fraction of the research, awareness and support. Kids with JA live with pain, fatigue and fevers, and many require aggressive medications like chemotherapy.
In 2022, Cassie + Friends is raising money for:
- Providing parents with access to a private Online Support Network
- Supporting families with emergency funds and medical equipment
- Helping fund Monthly Expert-Led educational webinars
- Connecting youth with trained peer mentors
- Fueling critical Advocacy + research into safer Treatments and a cure.
Thank you for your support towards a pain-free future for kids and families affected by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases!
