Meghan Odell
Oligoarthritis
Teen Honoree

When Meghan was first diagnosed at age 4, everyone thought that that was the end of all of Meghan’s activity, especially dancing. Now at age 16, she can dance, run, and march right alongside my friends. Arthritis has never and will never define me, and she hopes as Teen Honoree she can help spread that message to all the other kids facing that diagnosis.

Aalia Ghodiwala
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Youth Honoree

Aalia’s a kind, caring & sweet 5-year-old. When Aalia began walking, she limped with swelling in her knee. At 15 months old, after several visits with different medical specialists, she was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and uveitis. 

Aalia’s upbeat, lives a normal childhood. She’s social butterfly who loves playing with other kids. She makes friends with everyone. She loves her rheumatology team & is quite the goofball, even with her doctors. She tolerates injections but doesn’t like eye drops!

Aalia enjoys swimming. Her ideal vacation must include pools or beaches! She is creative and loves coloring and decorating. She even taught herself to draw via YouTube!
