Juvenile Arthritis
Arthritis doesn't care if you are six or sixty...
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 children 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 children cannot brush their own hair or get out of bed in the morning.
Read stories of how arthritis changed some of these children's lives forever.
