Guest guest Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Unfortunately it seems to me you need a big name to get media attention and hit up big corporations to make donations. My take on this is that there are no real celebrities who have brought JA to the forefront. As I recall, Tyler did a lot to bring awareness of Juvenile Diabetes. It seems to me with arthritis, most people think it is an old person’s disease, and if they make donations for that cause, they go to the Arthritis Foundation which may or may not use the money for research for JA. I think donating to places like St Jude, which is a research hospital for diseases that affect children, is good as is the Mc house as you know it goes to help families with kids. Personally, I think we need to keep spreading awareness whenever we can. We should think of ways to do this here in the group perhaps. Michele ( 20, spondy) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of maydo65@...

I think I will post as well and see what responses I get if any. I just entered a Fisher Price Family Sweepstakes and if you win you get a $100 and a $100 goes to a charity that they give you a list to choose from. There is one for Juvenile Diabetes and there are commercials for this, why isn't there anything like this for our kids? I chose The Mc House for ours if we happen to win. What has to be done to get this done so we can get the funding and publicity we need for our kids? All the causes listed were great causes, but it really ticks me off that our kids get nothing. and Kaylee, 5 poly and uveitis Question (SPAM) Just wondering if anyone else is getting email with the Subject being (SPAM) JRA with different subjects on it?
