What an incredible first for Michigan! 💙 Our inaugural Walk Strong Michigan raised more than $20,000 for Cure JM! 🎉 A huge thank-you to our amazing volunteers and everyone who showed up, participated, and supported our mission. You helped make this first walk one to remember!

💙 Caring for a child with JM includes their emotional well-being, too. Our caregiver FAQs offer information on anxiety, depression, and finding support. curejm.org/mental-and-emotio…

For children living with juvenile myositis, better treatment options can’t come soon enough. Your gift helps Cure JM keep research moving, and the Coffey family will match it dollar for dollar! That’s twice the support for work that can’t wait. 💙 curejm.org/acurestartswithyo…

Changes in mood, sleep, energy or interest in play can be more than a rough day. Our guide helps families recognize the signs early, because spotting them early leads to support, and support helps kids thrive. Learn more 👉 curejm.org/signs-of-depressi…
