Educational Family Events
Cure JM’s mission is built on community. Much of this community is organized at the regional level through chapter events. We’re excited to connect families with JM experts through our upcoming educational events, family days, and regional conferences.
We believe that our progress starts at the local level through these foundational events.
Meet other Cure JM families at an upcoming educational event, family day, or conference in your area. Come together to learn the latest in JM information and meet others who share similar journeys and experiences.
