I am participating in Cure JM Foundation’s national fundraising and awareness event taking place in Baltimore, Maryland on October 12th and 13th. I will be running my first 1/2 Marathon in honor of a very special girl.
A dear friend of mine recently found out her pre-teen daugther has JM. Alex is beautiful & bright and full of life and I want to support efforts to find a cure for JM so that Alex can grow up to lead the normal life she deserves.
JM is a rare autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks its own cells and tissues. For many children with JM, it's a challenge to simply stand up or sit down and can be life-threatening. This rare disease affects approximately 2-4 children out of a million.
Cure JM Foundation is an all-volunteer non-profit organization which was created and is managed by families of children with Juvenile Myositis (JM). Cure JM Foundation’s mission is to provide support to families coping with JM, raise awareness of JM and fund research that will ultimately lead to a cure.
The Foundation’s aspirational goal is to never, ever let another child suffer with Juvenile Myositis. With your help, this goal may be well within reach some day.
Please consider DONATING today! No amount is too small, every dollar we raise gets us one step closer to our goal!
