Hello friend!

Thank you for your support, both for me and for the Arthritis Foundation!

Since being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis last October, your support and the resources from the Arthritis Foundation have helped me reclaim my life. From diagnosis onward, I have known that I am not alone. Now, I've lost over 165 pounds, learned to manage my condition, I'm now in the best shape of my life, and have turned struggle into triumph over and over again. Last May, walking was a challenge; now I'm training to run a race!

Ankylosing Spondylitis, untreated, leads to progressive chronic pain, fused joints and the potential for disability. Thanks to the Arthritis Foundation's work and advances in medical research, I have hope through medication, resources and lifestyle changes. Your financial support fuels research advancements and provides vital resources for arthritis management.

Whether you face arthritis or other life challenges, my message remains: "Find your yes!" Despite difficulties, we can push past limits and achieve the seemingly impossible to become champions of yes. My wish for you is for strength to find a healthier, fuller life.

Come jingle with me!  Run! Walk! Skip! The run is also dog and stroller friendly!

This holiday season, I’m participating in the Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run. This family-friendly, fun and festive race raises funds so the Arthritis Foundation can pursue a cure while providing life-changing information, resources and support for people with arthritis and their caregivers. Please join me at Jingle Bell Run, and donate to support this important work to conquer arthritis for good.
