I'm walking to help kids fighting juvenile myositis (JM) - a painful, rare autoimmune disease that weakens muscles, damages skin and muscles, attacks organs, and can take away simple abilities like walking, smiling, or even swallowing.


There's no cure yet, but progress is happening.  Every step and every donation fuels research, supports families, and brings us closer to better treatments - and one day, a cure.


I'm joining the Walk Strong to Cure JM to raise funds for Cure JM, the only organization fully dedicated to this cause.  When we walk together, small steps create BIG change.


Your Impact Starts Now

💙Empower families - Foster a supportive community where families facing JM can connect with others who have experience in successfully navigating this journey

💙Fuel breakthroughs - Fund critical research for new treatments and make advances toward a possible cure, including the immune system reset "CAR-T"

💙Champion the best care - Help all families access the best medical resources and care available, closer to home

💙Inspire Hope - Let every child and family know they are not alone - and that their future is brighter because of people like you

 

Take a Small Step.  Make a Big Impact.
