A Cup For A Cause October 14, 2010

The Friends of Houston’s Ronald McDonald House hosts their annual Fall Membership Coffee. The coffee will feature Dr. Jennifer Arnold, a pediatrician at Texas Children’s Hospital and star of the hit reality series “The Little Couple”. The show centers on Bill Klein and Jen Arnold whose dwarfism is secondary to the daily trials of being newlyweds and building a life together. According to The Little People of America, there are an estimated 300 types of dwarfism. Jen, also known as Dr. Jennifer Arnold, was born with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, or SED, in which a random genetic mutation causes abnormal collagen formation. This led to her dwarfed stature; she stands 3 feet, 2 inches.
