She will be the Honoree, 6/4 at the Santa Monica, Arthritis walk
In this 6 minute video, you will see her heart-breaking story of a child affected by RA.
A Miss America, had a platform of JRA, Terri Hatcher talked about this little girl on Regis show..They are shown in this video.
Sophia was diagnosed at age 2, with a knee the size of a grapefruit. She was sent to a eye specialist, and they caught the UVEITIS in time, to prevent her from going blind!
There are 300,00 children with JRA/JIA in the USA....and 150 pediatric rheummies...and 7 states have none
Her father was grateful to live NOT in one of those 7 states, with a childrens rheummy..so she didn't go blind, or end up in a wheelchair
Her and the other children suffering from JRA/JIA are little heroes to all of us adults
