Kids Get Arthritis Too! Over 300,000 kids in the U.S. are clinically diagnosed with some form of J.A. Some people might not know this… It’s our job to spread the word!
What Arthritis Does to Breanna… • Arthritis is an auto-immune disorder. This means that her own body is attacking itself and causing harm… • It causes, swelling, pain, rashes, redness, and disfigurement of joints • Her immune system is also very weak and she can’t fight off infections
Swelling of her joints… Some days her joints hurt so badly she can’t function properly.
On good days Breanna Plays softball! This is her and her team!
On bad days… On bad days Breanna struggles to function properly. It is hard for her to do everyday tasks, such as walking down the stairs or brushing your teeth. It is hard to see my little sister like this… But she always has a beautiful smile on her face to hide the pain
The Arthritis Foundation has been there for us! • They have sent us to 3 different arthritis conferences with full scholarships! They have been there to help educate us and keep us strong through it all!
Arthritis Conference Fun! We had so much fun! We didn’t ever want to go home!
Arthritis Conference Fun! Breanna and I made some new friends that were in the same situation as us! They live far away but we keep in touch!
