Rare Disease Month

February is Rare Disease Month. A month dedicated to raising our voices to the world through advocacy, awareness, and education. Since juvenile myositis is a rare disease, we would like to recognize the warriors and families who battle courageously every day.

During February, we will share different ways for you to help support our rare cause. Will you join us in making your voice heard for better treatments and care on our journey toward a cure?

Help Find A Cure
