<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am encouraging friends and family to help those less fortunate rather&nbsp;than spend money on presents.&nbsp;</p> <p class="jia">Arthritis affects a large proportion of the population at some stage in their lives; however it is commonly associated with the older generation. But arthritis can and does affect children too. No one can prepare you as a parent for when such a diagnosis is made.</p> <p class="jia">SNAC&rsquo;s objective as a charity is to provide a national support network for children with arthritis and their families by the provision of factual, practical and emotional support. It aims to pull together the wider community of affected children in Scotland as well as raise public awareness of childhood arthritis.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>I am also raising money for the Children's Hospice Association Scotland and&nbsp;if you would like to donate, you can do so at <a href="http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/GeoffBilton">http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/GeoffBilton</a></p>
