<p><strong><span>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are running for SNAC - Scottish Network for Arthritis in Children. <strong>Yes that's right - children.</strong> Sadly they too can be affected by this horrible condition.Our friends, Tracy and Stuart's daughter Jos was diagnosed when she was only one. That's her in the picture. She had just turned 2 and had just had another round of steroid injections into her knees and ankles to get her back on her feet and walking again. Back then there was no support group in Scotland for families with a child with arthritis. They had no idea what to expect or if there was anyone else in their situation that they could ask. They were about to start giving Jos weekly injections of a pretty horrendous and painful drug and knew no-one who was having to do the same. 5 years on and Jos is now on a concoction of drugs which are successfully keeping her disease at bay, and they are so much better informed and have a network of support - other families they can talk to and opportunities to access specialists away from clinics and the hospital. SNAC is the charity providing that support. SNAC aims to offer as much support as possible, especially at initial diagnosis of this chronic condition. SNAC runs information days and family weekends, allowing affected families to meet, share experiences, and also to meet with the rheumatology specialists in a relaxed environment. This is where they could have asked how best to give Jos her injections and used tips and ideas from other parents to make it more bearable for her. SNAC also run various sessions for children like soft play, climbing days and other events when they can meet other children who are in a similar situation to themselves while having a fun time.To be able to continue doing this SNAC desperately need funding. That's where you can help enormously. If you are able to donate then that is fantastic, but even if you can't you can help by passing on our Fundraising Page to others and help raise awareness of childhood arthritis.
