Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Good for you!!!!! I'm so glad there are others in this group walking. My name is Missy and we are walking for my daughter, who is six and has systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. She's had it since she was two. She's having a flare again now. Our walk is in St. Louis, Missouri on MAY 19th. Our team is called 's Energizer Bunnies. I wrote to Energizer but they won't sponsor us. But that's okay we raise money at her school and our church. I couldn't get the web page thing to work. It wouldn't let me personalize mine. We walked last year (well, rode in a wagon) lol and all her school friends wore little bunny ears. It was fun and even her dentist donated money for her. I do truly believe every dollar counts. You know if had been diagnosed 10 years ago they told me she may not have made it. Not even 67.5 mg of Prednisone every day would take the internal inflamation away. She was only 29 lbs then. Thank God for the DMARDs and TNF inhibitors they have developed because of the research money people have donated. Good for you for participating. I'll make a donation to your team in her honor. Because you're right --TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! God bless you and have a great week.
