Lauren B
Adult Honoree 

 When Lauren was fifteen, she experienced severe heel and low back pain. The symptoms puzzled specialists, especially when all of her diagnostic tests were negative. Years of pain and frustration highlighted her perseverance and the ability to never give up. Finally, sixteen years after endless physician visits, she finally received the correct diagnosis of spondyloarthropathy. She now takes a biologic medication to help manage her condition.

Due to her journey, she created the first Live Yes! Connect group in NJ. Monmouth County meetings provide kindness and support to all. Awareness and education are key to living your YES with Arthritis.
