A Day for SJIA

2nd annual "A Day for SJIA" takes place during Autoinflammatory Awareness Month on August 22, 2017. #ADayForSJIA is a day to raise awareness for children and adults living with Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Stills Disease, an autoinflammatory disease that can cause rash, fevers, inflammation of joints and internal organs, potentially life threatening Macrophage Activation Syndrome, and a variety of other symptoms. There is support for children with systemic JIA and their families. The Systemic JIA Foundation, which was started by parents of affected children, is committed to finding a cure for the disease. It hopes to do this by funding and prioritizing promising research about the causes of the disease and new treatments and by creating a web-based network and information clearinghouse for families to help them locate the latest research findings and clinical trials in which they can take part. www.systemicjia.org You an also join the SJIA Parents Network for further support: www.facebook.com/groups/SJIAParents/
