Dana Clay
Psoriatic Arthritis
Adult Honoree

Dana Clay is 39 years old and was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis at the age of 23. She refuses to let her arthritis stop her from living her life to the fullest. Over time, she has learned to just take each day as it comes. She is thankful to have such a great support system of family, friends, and doctors. These people have inspired and motivated her to continue to press-on, even in the times that she doesn’t feel as though she could. Dana says “Although I have psoriatic arthritis, it doesn’t have me!"
