Hi ______,
I am so excited to let you know that this year I am stepping up for kids and families across Canada affected by juvenile arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. Juvenile arthritis is an incurable autoimmune disease in kids that attacks healthy joints and steals childhoods. Kids with JA live with pain, fatigue and fevers, and many require aggressive medications like chemotherapy.
This year I am running with Team Cassie + Friends to fundraise for juvenile arthritis research and family support programs so that kids can have the pain-free futures they deserve. If you are able to make a donation in support of my run/walk, please click the link below.

Thank you for supporting me and the 24,000 kids in Canada affected by juvenile arthritis.
