2024 Walk Strong

We’re walking for a brighter future! 

Cure JM families and friends are joining forces to Walk Strong together. Join the hundreds of Cure JM families who have taken steps toward better treatments and a cure.

Each walk features food, fun, and friendship as Cure JM families come together to celebrate the power of community and walk for a brighter future.  Walks feature fun for the whole family including children, teens, and young adults. 

The Walk Strong is also Cure JM’s signature fundraising event having raised over $4 million dollars for JM research. Every dollar helps! 

Your participation drives our mission and helps ensure no promising research goes unfunded.

To join a walk near you complete the form below.  Nicole Ryba will be in touch tell you more about the event and be with you every step of the way!

Don’t live near a walk?  No problem!  You can participate from home on any day that is convenient for you.
