More children suffer from juvenile arthritis (JA) than muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and cystic fibrosis combined. This year’s Arthritis Foundation fund-raising Main Event will be at Reid Park in Tucson on Saturday, December 5th, 2009 with check-in beginning at 9 a.m.
The video below is from a “Kristi’s Kids” segment on Tucson local news. The girl featured in the video is named Maddie. There is a brief advertisment that will play before the actual Kristi Tedesco feature begins.
