Jaydin Mercer is a 15-year-old sophomore in high school who has been living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and uveitis since she was four years old. She has taken multiple biologics and other medicines to help manage her arthritis, and the medicine she currently take enables her to play soccer and participate in martial arts classes.

"It has been incredibly difficult to grow up with a disease that nobody truly understands, but my family, close friends, and the Arthritis Foundation have been with me every step of the way". As the Teen Honoree this year for the Foundation’s annual Jingle Bell Run in Georgia, Jaydin is excited to help raise awareness and to support people just like her who are dealing with any type of arthritis.
