Explore every episode of the podcast Little Big Stories with Marcus and Ashley

Little Big Stories presents "Go Brianna Go," a tale centered around a young girl named Brianna who grapples with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Brianna embarks on a journey of learning a new sport and forming new friendships, all while managing the challenges of her condition. Through her experiences, Marcus and Mabel come to realize that Brianna is much more than her diagnosis. Along the way, Brianna discovers her own strength and determination, proving to herself that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to, with the support of her doctors, family, and friends.

This episode was made possible with funding support from Cassie and Friends Society, a patient advocacy charity for those with pediatric rheumatologic diseases.
