Arthritis doesn't care if you are 6, 16 or 60...

 

 

This often devastating disease affects nearly 4,000 Missouri children. Many are on the same cell growth inhibitor as cancer patients and some undergo chemotherapy. Many more sit and watch as the other children play because their knees or fingers or wrists hurt too badly to play tag or catch a baseball. Some cannot brush their own hair or get out of bed in the morning.
