From Michele (Keira's Mom): 

Hello again everyone! Thank you for your continuing support for Keira and her JDM diagnosis from exactly 3 years ago now! Wow, time is flying...

​Here's an update: Keira has been off of oral steriods since February 2020, and off of intravenous steroids since May 2020. We finally got the OK to start lowering her dose of IVIG she gets monthly. We always knew Keira was a strong girl since the day she was born, but she's showing us what it means to be a fighter and not let her JDM stop her from living life to the fullest!

So.... what's going on with Cure JM?! Cure JM is doing ONE walk in the whole country on Fourth of July!

WILL YOU JOIN US?!

Here are the details:

Cure JM Families are coming together across America!!

WHEN: July 4, 2021

WHERE: Your Home, Neighborhood, or Wherever You Can Walk Safely

Cure JM families, friends and supporters are coming together to raise $750,000 for Juvenile Myositis research.  Reaching this important milestone will help ensure no promising research is left on the table in 2021.

Gifts will be matched by the Leetz Family Match.  Every dollar makes a difference and gifts will be put straight to work to advance research for better treatments, better care, and, ultimately, a cure.

Join the Keira Bella team and fight against JDM and we look forward to you joining us this year for the walk!

We appreciate all your love and support, 

XOXO Michele and Keira <3
