'Jingle Bake Sale' To Benefit The Arthritis Foundation

CHICAGO - About 54 million adults have doctor-diagnosed arthritis, according to The Arthritis Foundation. Almost 300,000 babies and children have arthritis or a rheumatic condition

For Chelsea May, those numbers hit too close to home. Her 14-year-old daughter, Jenna, suffers from Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis and Uveitis. She was diagnosed four years ago.

To help fight spread awareness of the debilitating disease and raise money for research, Jenna's family will host their third annual bake sale on Dec. 6. The bake sale will take place at the Mt. Greenwood Holiday Stroll from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

"We are also looking for donations of baked goods as well," May said.

The donations and money received from the bake sale will be donated to the Arthritis Foundation's Jingle Bell Run which will take place on Dec. 14.

The Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run is the original festive race for charity, bringing people from all walks of life together to champion arthritis research and resources.

Less than a week after the bake sale, Jenna's family will gear up for the Jingle Bell Run in Chicago. If you would like to donate or join Jenna's run team, click here.
