About Jayden Saroyan
A Story of Strength, Resilience and Hope
My name is Jayden Saroyan, and I was diagnosed with severe juvenile arthritis at just 12 years old. The first year after my diagnosis was one of the hardest times of my life. Pain and inflammation made it difficult to walk, and I often relied on a wheelchair, scooter, or crutches to get around. Between hospital stays, doctor visits, physical therapy, and countless tests, my world revolved around managing my health.
With the dedicated support of my rheumatologist at UCSF and the integration of medical and alternative therapies, I gradually regained my mobility and independence. Today, I am grateful to play the sports I love and enjoy the active life I once thought was out of reach.

My Mission
Creating a Brighter Future for Children with Juvenile Arthritis
The creation of Juvenile Arthritis Relief Incorporated was inspired by my own journey — to give back and help others facing this painful condition. My goal is to raise funds for advancements in early detection, medicine, and therapy that can help children like me live pain-free lives.
We also aim to provide financial assistance for alternative medical treatments that are often not covered by insurance. Every child deserves the best possible care, no matter the cost — and together, we can make that a reality.
