It’s estimated that up to 30,000 children and young people have juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and chronic rheumatic diseases (CRD’s) in Australia and of those 6,000 – 10,000 are under 16 years.

JAFA’s new virtual fundraiser, Step Together with JAFA is on in March coinciding with Juvenile Arthritis Week March 16 -23 2025. It’s a great opportunity to gather your friends, family, school mates and supporters to raise much needed funds to support JAFA’s mission to stop pain and disability in children with JIA and CRD’s through:

• earlier diagnosis, improved treatment, care and support
• increased professional, community and political awareness and advocacy
• building communities of influence to fund vital research and programs
