Exercise and Juvenile Myositis

In this presentation, Dr. Laura Tasan explains the importance of exercise for JM patients. Since JM children suffer from endurance and fatigue issues, exercise for JM kids is a safe form of “medicine” to counter the effects of the disease on a JM patient’s muscles.

Executive Director Update - A Season of Gratitude

Season of Gratitude

I am writing to wish you and your family the very best this Holiday Season. This time of year, especially, I am filled with deep appreciation for all that Cure JM families have accomplished to advance our mission, to improve the lives of children living with JM, and to support the doctors and researchers driving better treatments as we fight for a cure.

The Carpenters Lemons to Lemonade- web

The Carpenters turn Lemons to Lemonade!

The Carpenter family hopes their efforts will raise awareness for Cure JM and bring hope to families like theirs.

The community went above and beyond in showing their support for the lemonade stand.

The 1000 cups with lids the Carpenters ordered quickly cleared out as more and more lemonade was sold!
