Make a Gift of Hope Today: Benefiting Cure JM!
Your gift is a reminder for all kids diagnosed with JM that we are not alone.
Like most rare diseases, juvenile myositis research is only made possible by friends and families like you.
Juvenile myositis is a run-away immune response where the body attacks itself.
The treatments currently used are life-saving, but can often be worse than the disease itself. Treatments used are steroids and chemotherapy, causing years of nausea, days spent in the hospital, and harsh side effects.
You can make a difference in the lives of all children diagnosed with JM.
Please make a gift to help us reach our fundraising goal.
Gifts will be matched by the Coffey Family Match:

- Checks can be made out to Cure JM and mailed to Cure JM, P.O. Box 45768, Baltimore, MD 21297, with our family's name in the memo

- Fund innovative new research, including investigating a new type of gene therapy and a groundbreaking new study to determine what is happening inside individual cells, to better target treatments
