My almost 3 year old daughter Kara has been very poorly In numerous hospitals over the last couple of months and unfortunately it doesn't end there as it looks like it is going to be an ongoing issue, possibly one that may affect her for the rest of her life. She has been diagnosed with jia, juvenile idiopathic arthritis. An auto immune condition where the body attacks it's own joints and organs due to an over active immune system causing joint pain, fever, inflammation, muscle weakness, fatigue, infection and general illness.

On the 19th June in the middle or arthritis week, it is wearpurpleforjia day. As well as wearing purple and trying to arrange some other events to raise money, I am also hoping to collect donations for CATS (Childrens Arthirits Trust) to raise awareness and help in the future aid and research of this condition because it shouldn't hurt to be a child. 💜💚
