Maggie Miller’s journey from diagnosis to treatment was a long, torturous path of doctor’s appointments, blood tests, trial-and-error medications, then more doctor’s appointments. Maggie, who lives in Blue Springs, was 7 when she was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. She’s now 12, her arthritis is finally under control, and she’s a happy, active child and an Arthritis Foundation veteran. “Arthritis is definitely a journey we never would have chosen, but we love our tour guide,” says Maggie’s mom, Tammy. “We are grateful for the Arthritis Foundation and the families we have met that have made this journey easier.” And we’re thrilled to honor Maggie as our Youth Honoree! Join or support Maggie and her team, Maggie Princess Warrior, in the fight against arthritis. |
