I am also currently the only dad on the committee–hint hint!

My son has had JIA since 2012 and I want to support families the way SNAC supported mine.

I live in Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute. I wanted to get involved with the SNAC committee so that I could give them something back for all the help and support my family has had since my daughter was diagnosed with JIA in 2017 and to help other families going through the same thing .

Mum of a 7 year old boy with arthritis (diagnosed age 3) and a daughter, 9. Joined the committee in 2019 after reaching out to SNAC for support and attending some educational events.
