Amijah Mahoney is not an ordinary 6-year-old. Nicknamed Lil’ Diva, Amijah is what her mom calls a “ride or die.” “That means she will be there no matter what you need,” said Ashley, Amijah’s mother. Amijah is also unusual because she has a rare disease called chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), which attacks her bones. One of fewer than 500 people in the world with CRMO, Amijah, who was diagnosed in June, will need monthly infusions at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) to help keep her bones from becoming damaged, deformed, or broken. While CRMO can go into remission, Amijah expects to fight the rest of her life to avoid becoming disabled. To help alleviate the costs of Amijah’s care, a benefit motorcycle ride dubbed Lil’ Diva’s First Annual CRMO Awareness Benefit Ryde will be held on Sunday, See Diva’s Ryde pg 2

She often re-creates wedding bouquets in the format, noting that the flowers are fun to touch. “(The paint is) super hard but still flexible,” she said. Live music lined up for the venue includes the Stone Soup String Band at 9:30 a.m., the Steve Barth Band at 11:30 a.m., and the Lancaster County Folk Music Society at 1:30 p.m. Attendees may enter the event grounds from either Hillside Lane or Meadow Lane, located off Lititz Pike in Neffsville.
