Hey, Im just putting a post on here to say that im a 17yr old girl, and have suffered from JIA for nearly 4 years now, for the last 3 and a half years I have been on crutches and in a wheelchair, but 3months ago I learnt to walk again...
I am now running the Bupa London 10k with my dad. We are doing it to say a big thank you to Arthritis care, for all of the help they have given me over this time, and the help they have given my family.

I was just wondering if any of you would support us, or like to give us a donation, how ever big or small, to arthritis care?

Thank you if you can.
Please see our website... We will keep updating it.... Its:

    What a wonderful, heartwarming story. I wish you all the love and luck in the world, and will most assuredly support you in any way that I can.

    Good luck to you, and your Dad.........Ange.

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    A big thank you to you all, for the sponsorship money x :o
    I am so proud of Hannah for doing this and I am more than happy to drag my old and overweight body :oops: around 10 Kilometres of London with her, to hopefully go some way, in repaying you and Arthritis care, for the help and support you have given Hannah.

    From Hannah's Dad x

    A very, very heartwarming story and I can't wait to hear how you both get on.

    I've had JIA since aged 7 and am so pleased that Hannah now feels well enough to attempt something like this. It will bring hope to a lot of parents on this forum who's kids are battling the same disease.

    Well done to both of you!

    Hey Hannah,

    Im 17 too and have had JIA since I was 5. I just wanted to say you are amazing, I know how hard it is to keep up all the training etc. You are doing it for an amazing cause, but of course you already know that. :)

    I wish you all the best, you will be fantastic.
    Take care, Steph x x

    I would like to add my congratulations and admiration with what you have achieved. Instead of sitting at home and moaning about it like me you have got up and done something. I really admire you.

    Thank you to everyone that have been supporting me and my dad.... not long now....only 4days till the big day!

    So grateful for all of the support, and all of the donations we have received, we have made it to just over £1,000 pounds now! But there is still time for anyone who hasn't sponsored us, and who wants to, to do so, just pop onto our website:

    Thank you.... Hannah x

    Thank you all for your support!

    We did it! I can't actually believe it, and we also did it in just under 1hr 10mins! Which we can't believe as I didn't even think we would manage 1hr 30mins.... We didn't even stop once! Tehe.

    Had an amazing day, and was really spurred on by the support we had and the money that was raised!

    Was well worth all of the hard work and training!
