An Educational Resource and Exercise Video for Children and Their Parents

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.

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.

Join Cure JM
