Meet Arizona Arthritis Walk® Youth Honoree – Campbell Pruden

Just before her second birthday we discovered our daughter, Campbell, had Juvenile Arthritis. We had no idea arthritis affects children too. She spent the next three months dealing with severe pain and stiffness. For a time she was taking eight medications each day. One of which is a new biologic drug that she receives intravenously. Fortunately, she has responded well and has been in medical remission for the last several months. We are lucky. Through all of this, the Arthritis Foundation has been by our side. They've offered education and events to keep us informed and involved. They also work tirelessly to fund research toward treatments and a cure. They have surely been a blessing to our family. read more
