May 2024 Symposium

The Spring Cure JM Medical Symposium in partnership with Duke University happened May 23rd, 2024, virtually, with presentations from world-leading researchers and clinicians on advancements in basic research, translational studies, and best practice clinical care in juvenile dermatomyositis.

For clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals unable to attend the event, we are honored to share the full virtual symposium recording. This video features presentations in order, with the recording separating each presentation topic into YouTube chapters.

3.0 CME (pending credits are available through Duke University by watching the recording).

Additional peer support resources for clinicians of juvenile myositis patients and families can be found at www.curejm.org/clinicians.

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!

Parrish’s Story

We would like to introduce a one-of-a-kind, competitive, and determined young man, named Parrish. His story of resiliency and hope is one that will resonate with many of us in the Cure JM family. Parrish faced many challenges in his journey with JM, but found hope and support in his family and the Cure JM community. We are pleased to now share his experience to help others facing the same struggles during Myositis Awareness Month.
