We exist to conquer arthritis and other childhood rheumatic diseases. We've been meeting the unique and urgent needs of families for 75 years. Working closely with such great research partners as the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) (www.carragroup.org), we're investing millions of dollars in outreach and collaborative research that advances prevention, care and a cure for kids and teens with rheumatic diseases. Our tools and resources help more children say Yes to making life better.
Arthritis is the #1 cause of disability in adults and can impact people of all ages. There are more than 60 million Americans who battle Arthritis, with over 300,000 children in the United States. 1,500,000 of them live in Missouri. The Arthritis Foundation is the Champion of Yes. We are focused on finding a cure and championing the fight against arthritis through vital information, advocacy, science, and community.
