support for youth & families

For the past 10 years, Cassie & Friends has been transforming the lives of kids and families affected by Juvenile Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. We’ve touched thousands of people and raised over $2.5 million for research, support, equipment and education.

Our work eases the pain, confusion and challenges so often described in the pediatric rheumatic disease community. Working with patients, families, healthcare professionals, researchers and other friends, we offer a number of first-in-Canada programs that ensure kids affected by rheumatic diseases are not alone. We’ve done a lot, but there’s still so much more to do.
