Peer Support

Peer Support

Cure JM is an organization of parents, patients, and clinicians whose mission is to fund JM research, care, and support.  We offer peer-support for every member of the family to help them thrive in their daily life with JM, comply with medication instructions, and connect with other families.

We invite all clinicians of pediatric or adult JM patients to share these resources with their patients.

Shared DNA Clues Point to Faster Treatments for Juvenile Myositis

In a study funded by the Cure JM Foundation and spearheaded by Dr. Younghun Han of the Baylor College of Medicine, scientists compared the DNA of more than three thousand people living with myositis to nearly twelve thousand healthy volunteers and found something striking. The major forms of myositis share much of the same genetic wiring.
