Our precious Kinley Brooke was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis ("JDM") in November 2018 at the age of 7.   JDM is a rare auto immune disease that effects approximately 4 out of 1,000,000 kids every year.   It is a life-threatening disease which causes the body’s own immune system to attack healthy cells and tissues. It can affect virtually any system of the body, the heart, lungs, skin, muscles, and more. There is currently no cure for JDM.  We are grateful that Kinley has responded well to the aggressive treatment, but we can never let our guard down as a simple illness or just being out in the sun could case a “flare”.  

This year we are participating in the HOUSTON Walk Strong to Cure JM. All proceeds benefit Cure JM Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to finding a cure for Juvenile Myositis, as there is no cure....YET!  

With the support from friends and family like you, we’re getting closer to better treatments and a cure.  With past donations, CURE JM has been able to fund research at 20 prestigious research institutions, helping advance JM research at an unprecedented pace!

Your gift now will keep that momentum going. Every donation goes straight to Cure JM, and since inception over 90% of all funds raised go directly to research.

Join the team and fight against JM/JDM today!  Kinley appreciates your support!
