Andrew's involvement with the Arthritis Foundation is inspired by his son, Bennett, who was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) at the age of two. After seeing Bennett thrive under the care of wonderful healthcare providers, Andrew experienced his first Jingle Bell Run in 2022 and knew he wanted to be more involved. He hopes to build connections within the corporate community to support the Arthritis Foundation's mission of finding a cure for arthritis and improving the lives of people affected by the disease.
