welcome to cassie + friends
We’re on a mission to transform the lives of kids and families living with juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases through research, education, connection and support. Since 2007, we’ve raised over $3.2 million to help young people and their families thrive in the face of chronic illness and find meaning in supporting others and giving back. We are now active in every province and territory in Canada. If you are newly diagnosed and need information, reach out to us! And if you are able, please considering joining our efforts. A pain-free future for kids is possible when we work to raise awareness and demand better together.
