This video features stretching exercises that are an important part of rehabilitation for JM patients. The video was created for Muscular Dystrophy patients but still applies to JM patients.
Please check with your doctor before starting any stretching or exercise program.
Kristine has been involved in Cure JM through volunteer roles for many years, and her involvement has become a family affair, as her daughter Katherine is a patient advocate for others with the disease.
Last year, Cure JM and a team of collaborative researchers received a prestigious $2 million grant from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to advance our understanding of juvenile myositis (JM). The goal? To discover new markers in the blood that could lead to more precise, personalized care for children with JM. We are excited to share some of the early results from this research
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.
Membership is free and we’ll connect you with a network of support, encouragement, and resources.
