Team25 Kids: Joe - Springfield, VA
Joe and his family are very active in raising awareness and funds for AT. He is our east coast connection. Joe loves to travel and go to movies and has developed wonderful friendships with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who coincidentally nicknamed Joe "Sweet cheeks" while he was undergoing steroid treatment and his cheeks puffed up. Now that his cheeks have disappeared - they have changed his nickname to "Joe Rocket." Joe had major surgery in September 05 to correct bone damage to both his hips due to the longterm steroid therapy. He is pressently feeling great, out of pain, and is back in school full-time.
