Jean Theobald
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Honoree

 

Jean was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in 2020. She already knew a lot about it; her sister Carol had her first flare at age 19. Jean immediately took steps to manage it by selling her two-story house, moving into a condo, and downsizing her role at work. She was inspired by Carol to maintain a positive attitude and to advocate for others with arthritis. "I have always believed that happiness is a choice. I want to live happily with my RA, and I want to inspire others and help raise awareness and funds for the Arthritis Foundation," Jean said.

 

Sarah Clemons
Enthesitis-Related Juvenile Arthritis
Young Adult Honoree

 

At age 14, Sarah first had pain in her ankle. One year later, after appointments with different specialists and testing, she was diagnosed with enthesitis-related juvenile arthritis. She had joint pain throughout her body and tried various injections and infusions to find the best treatment. Today, Sarah is a senior in college majoring in biochemistry/molecular biology. She is also involved as the Director of Philanthropy in her sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi, whose philanthropy is the Arthritis Foundation. The Arthritis Foundation has offered so much support to Sarah as she met lifelong friends who understood what she was going through and had an outlet to fundraise and advocate for others affected by juvenile arthritis.

 

Aubrey
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Youth Honoree


Aubrey is 7 years old. She loves to dance and learn new things! She also enjoys spending time with her family and schnauzer, Louie. In 2020, while Aubrey was playing, her family noticed she had swelling in her knee. After multiple visits to her pediatrician and children’s urgent care, an X-ray revealed joint effusion in her right knee.

Aubrey underwent an MRI and had fluids drained from her knee. Aubrey was diagnosed with JIA at just 4 years old. At that moment, their hearts shattered. They didn’t realize a child as young as her could develop arthritis.

Aubrey has many friends and family who support her 100%. When Aubrey is not having a good day, they make sure to help her keep her joints moving and provide her with the love and care needs. They look forward to the day when Aubrey is pain-free!
