Alberta teen fast-pitch player defies disease
Paige Simpson is a 15-year-old shortstop playing at a high level for the Red Deer Rage team in this year’s fast-pitch championship.
You would never know it, but a year and a half ago, she was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis. Simpson is inspiring future generations of women in sport, proving despite living with a chronic disease, she can still follow her dream to be a high-level athlete.
