Samantha's 12 marathons in 12 months for Juvenile Arthritis Research

Samantha Holland is raising money for Juvenile Arthritis Research

Dublin Marathon 2025 · 26 October 2025 ·

As a patient- and parent-led charity, our vision is a world where no child has to suffer from arthritis. Our aims include research to find a cure for JIA, raising awareness that children and young people get arthritis and providing support to children and their families affected by JIA.

Story

I am setting myself a challenge to run 12 marathons in 12 months. Dublin will be my first. I am doing this to raise money and awareness for juvenile-idiopathic-arthritis.

My daughter was diagnosed at 1year old and me and my husband had never heard of it before but over 12 thousand children are diagnosed in the UK every year. My daughter was lucky and after her steroid injections 💉 the swelling and stiffness started to go. She is almost 4 years old and still has little signs of been behind in her physical development but nothing stops her.
