So I was not sure I could participate the walk this year since I had an ankle fusion 11 days ago. I talked it over with my mom and we decided that I will participate. I have had Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was 6 months old. I have been on medications and IV treatments, in and out of surgical and hospital rooms, and in/out of strollers, wheelchairs, and scooters since. In 2007 I was scheduled to have a stem cell transplant, but 2 weeks before I was scheduled to have I went into septic shock. Having going into septic shock I was in a coma for 2 months and in rehabilitation for another 2 months. After having rehabilitation I went back to school being able to go as much as I could while losing my toes, finger, hooked up to an IV, and losing my hair. When I as 13 I had my left hip replaced. And in 2016 I lost a really good friend/mentor to lupus. This year I turned 21 and January 16 I had my ankle fused and cleaned, and my tendons lengthen. But I stayed strong because I knew I had to not just for myself, but for my family, my friends, classmates, teachers, nurses, doctors, and all the people I would meet in the future. I also stayed strong for the people I would have met when I am helping people in a similar story, I can’t wait to help people like me. I’m the fall I plan to go back to college at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities to study Graphic Design so one day I can have a photography non-profit organization that will benefit children and families just like my family and I. You can help children just like me who have been diagnosed with arthritis by joining the walk to cure juvenile arthritis or by donating to the arthritis foundations. People with an autoimmune disease such as arthritis or lupus have struggles that a person shouldn’t have to struggle with such as showering, getting dressed, brushing their hair, walking, and spending time with friends and family. By donating you will help find a cure for arthritis or send a child to a very special camp. By walking you will raise awareness to this children. Please donate or walk you have to do little but it will do a lot to those people with arthritis. disease that not only affect adults but also children.
