The chart is in Microsoft Word format, so you can customize it to fit your specific needs.
At 12 years old, Emma’s world was turned upside down. An energetic cheerleader who loved spending time with her friends, she suddenly found herself constantly fatigued, her muscles weak and aching. What began as mild discomfort quickly escalated into something far more serious.
A task that seemed daunting 20 years ago, to change the world for patients diagnosed with juvenile myositis, is now within our reach.
Sammie Fish was 14 when juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM, a rare form of juvenile myositis (JM) changed her life in 2017. A doctor’s warning that she might never reach remission, tied to a lifetime of medication, shook her world. But Sammie, now 21, didn’t back down. Today, she’s a college grad, a new teacher in her dream job, and Co-Chair of Cure JM’s Ohio Chapter alongside her mom. She walks for herself, for kids like her, and for a cure. That’s why hundreds of Cure JM families and friends across the nation join Walk Strong, because every step pushes us toward a JM-free future
