8 Year Old Chooses to Raise Awareness for Juvenile Arthritis in Lieu of Birthday Presents

Let’s Move Together – Arthritis Walk – Team Kaetlyn

 

There are people all around us dealing with issues every day and if you take a minute to get to know someone you may just find out how much they are dealing with. A networking friend of mine helps her daughter deal with real pain every day.

Meet Kaetlyn Rodriguez. She was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 18 months old. She has to have two shots a week. Saturday use to be Kaetlyn’s favorite day, but not since it has become shot day; she does not look forward to Saturdays. Kaetlyn says: “I really wish I did not have this disease. I hope one day they will find a cure. My mom always says God only gives you what you can handle. She says one day I will do something great. I hope she is right”.

No Bake Cake Balls

Easy to Make Cake Balls Recipe

 

All the rage these days (they even sell machines to make them, like the cupcake makers, cake ball makers!)  I have been wanting to try making caking balls for some time now. We were having our last practice of the season for the synchronized skating team that I coach, The Texas All Stars — so I thought no better time than this to create a decadent treat than for my great group of girls. Thank goodness they liked them because if I had any leftovers, I would have easily eaten all of them myself. These are unbelievably good!
