Join us in supporting Cure JM research by supporting A Cure for Collin
Our son Collin (12) was recently diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis - a rare, non-curable, autoimmune disease that attacks the body's muscles and skin. Like all parents learning about this disease for the first time, we are planning for a long road ahead with many turns that we may not see coming. The scariest part for us is that there are currently no approved treatments, and the current treatments used (chemo drugs, steroids, and 12-hour infusions) save lives, but have devastating side-effects.
Together we can change that. Help us give children, just like Collin, hope for a brighter future.
Every dollar makes a difference to improve treatments, care, and support for juvenile myositis. Please make a donation to help me reach my goal. Your gift advances our fight against this disease.
Thank you!
