Episode Description

As we turn to our Spotlight feature for July, I am excited to welcome, Lily Meierhoefer Founder of Kids Get Arthritis Too Instagram Page.

Lily Shares - Although I am only 16 years old, I have had arthritis for almost 5 years now. Being a teenager with a chronic disease is challenging for a multitude of reasons. Not only is the physical pain tough, but it is also easy to feel alone and have no one to relate to. Most people do not even know that kids can get arthritis and explaining your condition over and over again can be exhausting. Earlier this year, I started the Instagram Page @kidsgetarthritistoo_ to raise awareness for juvenile arthritis, build community, and encourage other teens with arthritis to take action or get involved with the Arthritis Foundation.

Listen in as Lily discusses Juvenile arthritis information, awareness, advocacy and the best ways to help support Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month.
