Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Honoree


Jasmine, a passionate Depeche Mode fan and author of the bestselling book Saved By Depeche Mode: An Epic Journey of Healing and Remission Through Music.

Her book chronicles the past 40 years, navigating multiple autoimmune diseases, all of which are now in remission. Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 13, she has since undergone 36 surgeries.

By 2020, she reached a turning point and made a conscious decision to take control of her health. One of her greatest achievements in the past five years has been reducing her prescription medications from over 15 to one.
