Julie was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis (a type of JM) in June of 2022 right after her 5th birthday. Since then she has been so brave and strong through hundreds of pokes, infusions, injections, and medications. 

With treatment she has gained back almost all of her mobility and is doing really really well. But she is not out of the woods yet, and her treatment will continue for at least the next two years. 

This year we are celebrating Cure JM's 20-year anniversary by walking strong to Cure JM and hope you will join and support our team. 

Gifts will be matched by the Leetz Family Match.

Your gift will be put right to work to:

• Advance four clinical trials
• Help kids get the best care
• Fund our largest-ever grant cycle, including investigating a new type of gene therapy
