July is Juvenile Arthritis Awareness Month.
Juvenile arthritis (JA) refers to any form of arthritis or arthritis-related
condition that develops in children or teenagers who are less than 18 years of age.
Nearly 300,000 children in America have been diagnosed with juvenile arthritis and
are affected by pediatric arthritis and rheumatologic conditions.
The Arthritis National Research Foundation funds arthritis research to find a
cure for arthritis, but it is also a children’s charity. By supporting arthritis research
specific to juvenile arthritis every year, they hope to make a difference in the lives of the
thousands of kids dealing with arthritis.
