1.5 million for 1.5 million Victorians 'Florence Nightingales'

MSK conditions have hit her family hard, with her three young sons (13-year-old twins and their 10-year-old brother) all living with juvenile arthritis.

Jay and her sons are the -faces' of Arthritis and Osteoporosis Victoria's Winter Appeal.
