Hi, my name is Jade and I am 9 years old. I live in Spokane, WA and I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I was diagnosed with JDM in April 2006. I have rashes on my nose, hands, knees and elbows and my legs hurt a lot. My favorite things to do are to watch movies, color and draw. I want to get better so that I can go to school all day and eat the kinds of food that I like to eat, but most of all I want to run a race. When I grow up I want to be a basketball player or a composer. I take lessons on my keyboard and have written 20 songs, but sometimes my JDM makes it hard to play.
