Drew was diagnosed with JM on March 7, 2016.  Since that time, we have been working hard to raise money and awareness for this rare disease.  We thank all our friends and family who have donated in the past and continue to support Drew through his struggles with JM. 

In years past, our friends and family have traveled with us to the Chicago area to participate in Cure JM walks with other JM families.  This year all these regional group walks are canceled, but we are still walking and raising money/awareness for Cure JM.  Our family will be participating in a walk around the Norway area the week of July 4.  Anyone who would like to donate or walk with us is welcomed!  

 

We are also honoring my mother/Drew's grandmother during this walk.  She passed in January.  Darla was an avid supporter of Cure JM.  She lived with us for months after Drew was diagnosed to help with his care so Dan and I could continue to work.  All money collected from her passing was donated to Cure JM in her remembrance.  

 

 

The COVID-19 crisis has shown us that now more than ever, we need to move Juvenile Myositis research forward. COVID-19 increased the vulnerability of children and teens with JM who receive treatments that suppress their immune systems. That's why we are as committed as ever to our mission to find better treatments and a cure.

All proceeds benefit Cure JM Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to finding a cure for Juvenile Myositis.

Thank you for supporting Drew and his fight against Juvenile Myositis!
