Fundraising for SNAC

We couldn’t do what we do without you.

SNAC is a volunteer‑led charity supporting children and young people with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and their families across Scotland. Everything we do is made possible by the generosity of our supporters.

Raising funds helps us continue to provide vital support, bring families together, and raise awareness of childhood arthritis.

Here are some of the amazing fundraisers supporting SNAC right now:

 


Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2026 Edinburgh Marathon for Scottish Network for Arthritis in Children (SNAC) in order to raise as much money as possible.

This is a charity that is close to our family due to Liams struggle with arthritis. Thanks to charities like SNAC and the help they gave Liam through the hard times doing his teenage years through to adulthood he has already completed a marathon and wanted to do this to give something back to help others going through what he did.

They are a fantastic Charity and I would be so grateful if you could take the time to sponsor me to help the cause and to motivate me in my training!

Why your fundraising matters

Every pound raised helps SNAC provide support and connection for families living with JIA. We believe raising awareness is just as important as raising money, and fundraising helps us do both.
