Morgan Romesser
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Youth Honoree
 At the age of 18 months, Morgan could not walk. Luckily, her diagnosis was quick. She thanks Dr. Adam Reinhardt and Natalie Gomez for the quick response. Today, at nine years old she is in remission. Even though she can do most activities, she still factors in the pain.
Morgan is grateful to her family, having a home, being able to play with her friends and ride her bike. She loved getting the JA Power Pack. The teddy bear in the power pack helped with her pain. She accepted being the honoree because not only did she think it would be fun, but to share information about her journey with juvenile arthritis. Her hopes for the future are that those with arthritis have no pain and that a cure can be found. You can join or support Morgan's team, Morgan and Nona. |
