Hello, all! This is the first blog I've ever been a part of, but I'm excited to be teaming with the Arthritis Foundation to let you know about area events. As someone who has lived with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis for almost 11 years, I understand the frustration and pains of being a young adult with RA. The Arthritis Foundation offers support to sufferers of all ages, and, our first event this year in South Bend is just around the corner, the Kids (and Teens!) Get Arthritis Too Family Day on March 26th. This free event is for children, teens, young adults and family members of those with arthritis.

Sessions are prepared for children and young adults ages 3 to 21, and their parents and siblings. The adults will focus on networking, nutrition, coping strategies for children, and navigating the education system with arthritis. Kids and young adults will be entertained with arts and crafts, exercise and meeting others who relate to them. Lunch will be provided and there will also be information available for the South Bend Arthritis Walk, taking place May 1. Families can RSVP online or by calling 574.251.1424.
