COVID-19 forced us to cancel our spring and summer walks. Our walks constitute a big part of our overall research budget. So, in response, Cure JM created the Walk Strong Across America. We invited our families and friends to walk from the comfort of their home, their yard, or their neighborhood – on or before July 4. More than 300 families from 45 states walked strong and raised $675,000! The incredible generosity will help us honor our research commitments that we have between now and June, 2021.
Your effort, time and dedication make our meaningful work possible. THANK YOU! Watch this video to get a sense of the fun and enthusiasm that Walk Strong Across America inspired!
Celebrate the success with our co-founders and three of the world's most renowned JM doctors.
The Zoom celebration featured:
Cure JM co-founders Tom and Shari recounting their son Parker's diagnosis, how they co-founded Cure JM and the amazing progress that has been made because of your generosity!
Dr. Ann Reed detailing the incredible progress that has been made in JM research and care since Cure JM's founding in 2003, to now.
Drs. Kim and Shenoi updating us on their work and what your support means to them!
Jim Minow, Cure JM's Executive Director, explaining why your support matters and details where your support goes.

CURE JM 2021 FAMILY CONFERENCE CANCELLED
Every year, we look forward to connecting with our Cure JM family to share community and the vision for the future that we're building together. But, COVID-19 is still a concern, so we've made the difficult decision to cancel the Cure JM Family 2021 Conference in Houston.
This was a tough call to make -- it's one of our favorite ways to celebrate all of you from around the world and our shared progress -- but we prioritize the health and safety of our families and friends. In the coming weeks, we'll be in touch with other opportunities for us to get together virtually.
