Paisley Trotter
Juvenile Arthritis
Youth Honoree
Paisley is both a juvenile arthritis and Crohn’s warrior. At the age of 5, her world was turned upside down and she, along with her mom, had to figure out a new normal. This new normal consisted of 14 specialists, weekly injections, infusions, navigating countless tests, managing numerous medications, and attending a seemingly endless series of appointments—all while coping with increased illness. Throughout the difficulties an invisible disease brings, Paisley continues to exude positivity, charisma, and shine light to those around her. Making connections with other JA kids, finding the Arthritis Foundation family, learning to advocate for herself & educate others on what she goes through has made a world of difference.
