Britney Gifford
Adult Honoree

Britney was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) when she was 13 years old until then she was misdiagnosed as having growing pains. Her arthritis affects almost every joint in her body but mainly her jaw, knees, back, hips, and hands. She has been on different medications to manage her symptoms along with different therapies! She is currently on a mixture of different medications and biologics that have successfully put her in medicated remission. Although she still has her bad days, she is thankful for the opportunities her diagnosis has given her.
