This holiday season, I’m excited to participate in the Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run — Seattle for the sixth consecutive year as cocaptain of team “Skippy’s Squad,” alongside my daughters Jordan and Mackenzie.

A fun, festive, and family-friendly event, the Jingle Bell Run supports the Arthritis Foundation’s efforts to advance research toward better arthritis treatments (and ultimately, a cure!) and provide life-changing resources and programs for people living with arthritis. This mission is especially meaningful to our family because my daughter Jordan lives with inflammatory arthritis.

Since 2021, Skippy’s Squad has raised over $25,000 to support these efforts. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has joined our team and contributed along the way. Together, we’re helping make a difference in the lives of nearly 60 million Americans living with arthritis.

If you’d like to support Skippy’s Squad this year, please consider joining our team (with in-person and virtual participation options available), contributing to our fundraising efforts, or taking a few minutes to learn more about arthritis.
