When Kate was diagnosed with RA, she thought she would have to abandon all the creative things she loved to do, especially when her hands became significantly deformed due to the disease. But it turns out that nothing is further from the truth!
Since her diagnosis, Kate has become a strong believer in not letting RA define her life. To prove it, she recently launched an online jewelry store called RAre Hands Boutique - where she sells beautiful handmade jewelry that she has personally created, despite the damage RA has done to her hands. She also donates 10% of all of her proceeds to the Arthritis Foundation. You can read more about Kate's story in her Facing Forward interview.
I was lucky to be offered the chance to select one of her pieces (the gorgeous bracelet pictured!) and I love it! It definitely feels nice to look at my hands and feel good about them - a feeling I'm sure many of you can identify with!
