2018

Rare Disease Day (February 28th) is an international, awareness-raising event, that aims to bring attention to rare diseases, like Legg-Calve’-Perthes disease, and the people who are affected by them. This year, Perthes Kids Foundation will be participating in Rare Disease Day by sponsoring its first-ever Perthes Kids Art Contest!

No matter what age or skill level, your participation in this art project will help raise awareness of Perthes disease and other rare diseases that people are fighting against, every day. See some of our rare artists at work on our "Wall of Art" below!

congratulations to our winners!

Perthes Kids, Karter Scheele & Ainsley Beaver, had the most overall votes in their respective groups, for the 2018 Perthes Kids Art Contest! Great job by ALL of our wonderful Rare Artists! Your creativity and expression about your Perthes experience was simply amazing to watch. Thank you for participating and sharing your artwork. Our Perthes awareness shirts, featuring the winning artwork, are on sale now at our Perthes Shop! Let's all show our support and purchase a shirt, or a few, to help raise funds for charity, and kids dealing with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.

1st place

Group A (age 7-10) WINNER - "Bright Future", by Karter Scheele (age 8) from Havre, Montana, USA

BIO: Karter got diagnosed with Perthes almost two years ago after suffering from groin pain and having a limp. Before he was diagnosed, Karter was a typical 6-year old active boy who especially excelled at his favorite sport, wrestling. He traveled to see his doctor at Shriner’s Hospital in Spokane, Washington which is about 8 hours away every 4-6 months. For so often, Karter didn’t have very good news at his appointments. But as he's come to learn, the arrow needs to be pulled backwards before it can go forwards and he relates that to his Perthes journey. Karter has focused on using this to inspire others by doing simple things like passing out chocolate bunnies to others at the hospital or raising $2,000 for books. Karter keeps looking for different ways to make not only his future bright, but others too. He stays positive through the pain and wants other to also.

Group B (age 11-15) WINNER - "Everyone's Walk Is Not The Same", by Ainsley Beaver (age 13) from Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

BIO: Coming soon...
