Dear Mr. President,

Juvenile Arthritis effects 300,000 children in the US.  I think it is hard for me to have RA but I can't imagine having arthritis at such a young age when all I want to do is go outside  and play or doing something fun with my friends and I can't because I don't feel well.  One child says she has to swallow 30 pills each day and you know these are not small pills.  Hey, even I have a hard time some days swallowing all those pills!  It is tough for an adult but for a child and their family that must be devastating.

The Arthritis Foundation put together this video message to President Obama asking him to start taking about arthritis.  Please check it out.
