Becky Migas
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Honoree
 Becky was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis (JA) at four. She knew at a young age her path would be very different and often difficult, but she didn't let that stop her. After pursuing her education, she worked in the entertainment industry for over 15 years. In 2018, Becky left her full-time job to start her own business, B.Green Co., then a nonprofit organization called Women in Sustainability. She started volunteering for the Arthritis Foundation in college and has been involved with the Jingle Bell Run and Walk to Cure Arthritis across the country and was the Network Leader in Colorado.

Leslie E. Rose was born and raised in Escanaba, MI, a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Despite not returning to live in her hometown, she has a strong sense of pride about being a "Yooper" and will speak with her accent more prominently if asked. While in medical school at Michigan State University, she became drawn to rheumatology. "All these new medications were coming out and they were changing peoples' lives in ways that just hadn't been seen before. It was miraculous."
