Stories of Yes-Jill
Jill Konopka, Rheumatoid Arthritis
"I never back down from a challenge, so when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 27, I knew I'd face it head on. The Arthritis Foundation was invaluable, providing resources, encouragement and support I'll forever be thankful for. Since my diagnosis, I've completed 16 marathons! Some running, some walking and running, but all of them bold moves forward. I’m so proud to wear Arthritis Foundation on my shirt — they've been there for me throughout my journey."
