On April 19, 2006 we learned our little Gracey developed a rare autoimmune disorder known as Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) - she was 5 1/2 years old. At that time Gracey had become very weak and absolutely unable to get up from the floor. The diagnosis was the beginning of a long road to remission as there is no cure for JDM. This site is meant to track Gracey's progress as she works hard every day to conquer JDM. Thank you for your support and please check back often.
This past weekend Gracey and the family were in Washington DC where Gracey ran in her first marathon - the Marine Corp Marathon Kids 1-mile Fun Run! We loved the trip and the opportunity to meet so many others. Gracey had a ball!!!

Gracey,
Wow. You are a strong little girl, it a blessing to know I share my name, spelling and all, with such a persistent girl. Keep up the fight. Never give up. Nothing is impossible. You will be in my thoughts.
