Her mission-Empower RA patients to advocate for improved diagnosis and treatment. In 2009, Kelly created the website, Rheumatoid Arthritis Warrior.

We caught up with her at Mayo Clinic's Social Media Summit recently where she discussed her RA experience, what she hopes the experts can learn from her at the Rheumatology conference, and one of her new projects.
Another great video Kelly. You have really started a movement here, and I hope you realize how valuable your work is. By the way, you look great in the video too!! Thank you.
