Thanks for your support!
Alexandria started her Arthritis journey in June 2003. She had quit moving her left arm and was no longer able to straighten it out. We thought she had broken it or something. That would have been too easy. After many tests Alex was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA), meaning many joints affected. Alex’s Rheumatologist Dr. Richard Vehe went right to work and she gained total use of her arm back after steroid injections and therapy. With his help and the right cocktail of medications Alex has been able to be as normal as the next kid. We are very proud of her. She takes her meds well and if in the right mood will even give herself her shots (otherwise mom and dad still help). Alex often says “So if we raise enough money I can stop taking my meds?” We are walking in her honor again in hopes that our donations can make that happen someday. With the help of our family and friends and everyone’s donations we hope to one day know that we had a little part in helping find a cure for JRA! Thanks for supporting Alex!
