Alicia was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) 11 years ago. Since the time of her diagnosis, she has experienced ongoing trial and error in finding the right medicine that will work for her. She has tried pills, shots, steroid injections, infusions, etc. and has yet to figure out what will work best for her but she is not giving up! She is honored to have been chosen as the Walk to Cure Arthritis Seattle Youth Honoree and is hopeful that one day there will be a cure for this disease and that more people understand that kids get arthritis too!
