Why I Walk- Ellen Stream

Ellen Stream’s Story: Walking and Quilting for JM Families

Ellen Stream’s love for her granddaughter, Brooklyn, fuels her commitment to the juvenile myositis community. When Brooklyn was diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) at two and a half, Ellen faced a wave of fear. Would Brooklyn run and play like other kids? Could she enjoy school, sports, or friendships without the weight of infusions and flare-ups? Those early days brought uncertainty, but Ellen and Brooklyn’s other grandmother built a support system across miles, showing distance doesn’t dim love.
