Motivated by two dogs, she had a leash in hand and a smile on her face as she conquered the three-mile Arthritis Walk.
Our main concern was would walking that distance affect her legs later that day or the next day. However, she hasn't shown any pain or discomfort. For now, we can cherish this moment, but in the world of arthritis, you never know what might spur a "flare up" that sets her back.
Nearly 50 people and six dogs walked with Kasey, and many more people stopped by at our post-walk party.
Supporters of Team Kasey helped raise about $4,000 for the Arthritis Foundation. This effort helped Team Kasey be the top fund raising team in the state of Wisconsin for the fourth straight year. The money raised is used to support medical research as well as special programs and education.
Let us extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported Kasey, our family and this cause.

Kasey, as a very good friend of your Grandma Uschan I have tracked your progress and please keep up your wonderful attitude and great progress. Someday I would very much like to meet you as I also have Arthritis. I feel like I already know you as your Grandma & Grandpa Uschan are so very proud of you. Friend, SueB xxxooo
Way to go Kasey!
What an accomplishment. That's a good walk for an adult...and a far walk for kid, and and amazing for someone who has arthritis!
