What is the Giving Tuesday Holiday Challenge?
Watch as Family Support Network leader and JM dad, James Tealy, shares how Cure JM’s Giving Tuesday Holiday Challenge connects our community to a global day of generosity, when millions of people come together to support causes that matter.
As Cure JM’s flagship end-of-year campaign, the Holiday Challenge helps drive critical funding for research and family support programs.
Angela Suppa, Associate Director of Development, will work closely with you to ensure your participation has meaningful impact.
Juvenile myositis is rare, so leaps in progress are only made possible by our families, friends, and supporters to help fuel our life-changing work
A Parent's Perspective...
Leah Kania shares how her family found strength and hope through the Cure JM community — and how you can too. This holiday season, Leah invites you to join her in the Holiday Challenge to fuel research and bring hope to families everywhere.
From Support to Action
"As grandparents, we tried to support our son’s family as this journey began, but there was only so much we could do. The key to helping Olivia and all JM kids was to help fund the ongoing research.
By getting involved with the Holiday Challenge, it enabled us to support Cure JM financially. Our daughter-in-law helped me set up a Facebook page to encourage donations from family and friends. Every donation has hopefully made a difference, and created more of an awareness of this disease and our family’s story."
