Family Days

Find Your People. Fuel Your Fight.

Cure JM Family Days are in-person events hosted in partnership with leading children’s hospitals across the country. These gatherings provide families with direct access to expert physicians, the latest updates in juvenile myositis (JM) research and care, and practical guidance for navigating life with JM.

Families also have the opportunity to connect with others who share similar experiences, ask questions, and build relationships within the JM community.

Cure JM is expanding Family Days nationwide to reach more families where they are, with approximately 20 regional gatherings planned for 2027.
