Walk Strong
Walk for Norah 2023
Five years ago, Norah was diagnosed with a life-threatening rare disease called Juvenile Dermatomyositis. She lost her ability to walk, lift her head, and swallow safely. After a lot of treatment and some time with a feeding tube, she is a thriving eight year old, able to run and play with her friends. She has not achieved remission but we are hopeful. We will be forever grateful for the research that allowed for her amazing recovery and her current quality of life.
