Betheny Blowers
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Honoree


Betheny’s journey with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) began almost 35 years ago. Since that first flare up, Betheny has experienced many aspects of RA at different stages of life. Diagnosed at a young age certainly changed her path forward in life. However, with the love and support of her family and friends, it did not diminish her spirit.

Graduating from Bryant College in 1999, Betheny continues to have a great career working in treasury. She loves walking her pup Mabel and recently started fostering dogs. Betheny enjoys volunteering and is excited to further her involvement with the Arthritis Foundation.
