Meet the Honoree

The 2011 Indianapolis Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis® Honoree is Sarah Hake. Sarah was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis since 1987 when she was just two years old. It is difficult for Sarah to explain what it's like to have arthritis because she has never known a life without it. Click here to learn more about Sarah and how she manages her arthritis.
