Great work Liam!

🏈 For most of his high school football career, Liam was playing through pain. Sore knees, morning stiffness, and swelling that just wouldn’t go away. He pushed through, assuming it was just part of the game.

But by the end of his junior year, the pain had become impossible to ignore. Liam and his family turned to Dartmouth Health Children’s for answers, where our pediatric rheumatology team diagnosed him with juvenile arthritis linked to Lyme disease he contracted as a child.

After starting treatment, everything changed. The pain began to fade within weeks, and by his senior season, Liam was back on the field feeling stronger than ever. He finished the season with 750 total yards and 10 touchdowns in just eight games, earning First Team All-State honors.

Now, Liam will take the field once again at the 14th Annual Dartmouth Health Children’s All-Star Football Game on June 26, benefiting medical care and vital programs for the kids and families of Dartmouth Health Children’s and the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (CHaD). We couldn’t be prouder to cheer him on.
