Team Cadence is at it again and like always- we need your love and support!!
TEAM CADENCE IS AT IT AGAIN!!!
This is our third annual walk- and each year our team raises more and more funds to help find a cure for Cadence and her fellow warriors. I know with annual events it gets tough to financially donate every year, but as one of the VPs of the MA Chapter, Team Cadence will be fundraising every year until we find a cure :). With that said, every penny counts- $5.00, $10.00- you don’t have to do more then you can afford, esp each year. We appreciate your support whether it be financial, sharing my page, attending the walk and showing your physical support for Cadence (it’s free to attend!) and/or helping spread the awareness of JDM.
With this continued great support from families and friends we were able to fund research at 20 prestigious research institutions, helping advance JM research at an unprecedented pace!
Cadence was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) at 18mo, and is now 6 and almost finished Kindergarten. We have come so far in 4.5 years it is amazing! Which still doesn’t leave a constant worry for her every time she gets even a cold, doesn’t wear a hat on a sunny day, doesn’t get her sunscreen on prior to anytime outside and doesn’t wash her hands 10 million times a year :)
JDM attacks the bodies immune system, healthy tissue, blood vessels and muscles- causing weakness and skin rashes. There is no cure, not enough awareness and treatment options that yes, can help- but have horrible side effects.
We just want Cadence to be as happy, strong and healthy as her peers. No more “different”- just normal.
So with help from people like you (friends, families, co workers, school friends and even complete strangers) we know normal will be here soon.
Thank you and love to you all-
Steph, Jay, Conner & Cadence Brown
