2025 Family Conference Finding Hope

Erin and Madi’s Story: Finding Hope at the Cure JM Family Conference

In February 2023, Erin Hicks and her daughter Madi faced a life-altering moment. After a visit to the National Institutes of Health in Seattle, Madi, a vibrant 12-year-old soccer player from Kansas City, Missouri, was diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). “We walked out feeling overwhelmed and lost,” Erin recalls. Research fueled panic as Madi’s condition worsened, her energy fading on the soccer field. Hope was slipping away.
