Jessi’s Story

The Rheumatology Research Foundation hired Blue Chalk Media to create a series that showcases how, despite being diagnosed with Rheumatic disease, patients are living full, active and productive lives.
In this first film, we meet Jessi Larson, a star collegiate athlete, who, after learning about her diagnosis at age 17, continued to pursue her passion for running.
Jessi’s story will help other patients, especially those who have been newly diagnosed, feel that they too will be able to live healthy lives and not be held back from pursuing their goals and dreams.
