Tale of an Old Katfish

More about the book

The narrative follows John Lynch, a once-promising athlete whose life takes a dramatic turn when he is diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis at the age of eleven. This debilitating illness affects 300,000 children, limiting their ability to lead pain-free, active lives. The book sheds light on the experiences of these children, known as Katfish, highlighting their struggles and the support systems available to them through the Kids and Teens' Families Investing Support and Hope initiative.
