Grace Gregg
Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis
Teen Honoree
 15-year-old Grace Gregg was diagnosed with juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) when she was just 2 years old. Grace has not let her arthritis stop her from pursuing the things she loves. She has been playing the flute in her Brunswick, Ohio High School marching band which recently took her to London. “Sometimes it can be hard given that playing the flute and marching in a competitive band involves all the joints that bother me, I do my best to stay positive and use my love for these things as motivation.”
Recently, Grace became a Junior Ambassador for the Arthritis Foundation and looks forward to continuing to spread awareness for arthritis, especially in kids like herself. To join or donate to Grace’s team, click here. |
