Stacy French
Osteoarthritis
Adult Honoree

Stacy was first diagnosed with osteoarthritis (OA) in 1999 at the age of 40 in her feet. She had her first foot surgery in July of 2000 and again in 2014. Stacy also had shoulder surgery in 2010, all due to factors of her OA. November 2016, she had a simultaneous bi-lateral knee replacement surgery. Despite all these factors, surgeries and daily discomfort, she continued to remain active by walking, dancing and teaching dance until 2014. Stacy is excited to be raising funds to help fuel the Live Yes! Arthritis Network and expand the movement. Together, we’ll conquer arthritis for good.

Emma loves spending time with her friends, playing outside, making art, singing, and reading. She is a Girl Scout, a bilingual student, and an aspiring author. Her family has participated in the Walk to Cure Arthritis for several years. Last summer Emma attended Camp Milagros for the first time. She had a blast forming friendships with other kids with arthritis.
