Reece 

Ashburn, VA

Reece was born with a rare congenital joint condition called Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC or Arthrogryposis) which occurs in two or more areas of the body. Although this condition affects her ability to use her arms and legs, Reece strives daily to overcome obstacles most children will never experience.

Brody 

Frederick, MD

Brody's smile lights up a room. Before he was born, doctor's noticed that Brody's hands and feet were clubbed and there was no movement. After months of waiting, his parents learned of his condition. Fortunately, the doctors at Shriners Hospital were optimistic that although he would require major surgeries just to walk, his future ahead would be a bright one.

Layel

Greenville, SC

Layel Rodgers 14, a patient since birth. She has Arthrogryposis, 12 surgeries to date to correct lower extremities. Her journey has enlightened us to call Shriners, our family.

From the first cast, to the first step, they never gave up, nor did we. No one can take action like they do. We moved our entire life from Texas in 2023 to be in Greenville, SC area for Shriners… we’ve tried it all.  Nobody can match the love to the rescue!
