My Story…

Description

Help kids and youth with Juvenile Arthritis (JA) and rheumatic diseases see that #HopeFlares when we unite for stronger families, resilient youth and a cure!

In Canada, 3 in 1,000 kids face JA and related conditions like SJIA/Stills, lupus, fever syndromes, JDM and autoinflammatory disorders. These diseases can lead to chronic pain, disability, vision loss, mental health struggles, and even life-threatening complications—yet they remain drastically underfunded and overlooked, with only 20% awareness nationwide.

Team Cassie + Friends is Canada’s only movement 100% dedicated to the JA community. What began with one dad running in 2007 has grown into 750+ runners and thousands of donors rallying together annually for a pain-free future for kids!

By supporting our run/walk, you’ll directly support:

• Groundbreaking research into precision medicine, mental health, and a cure

• Vital resources like free medical equipment, financial aid, and Comfort Kits

• Mentorship for youth and caregivers

• Education and connection events for families

• Advocacy for earlier diagnosis and equitable care
  
  

Together, we can bring hope, support, and brighter futures for kids facing lifelong challenges.
