Join Us and Walk Strong from Home!
Join Cure JM families and friends from across the country in Walk Strong to Cure JM. We will have families from across the nation walking on different days, supporting the same cause.
Our goal is to raise money for juvenile myositis research. To help us reach this goal, gifts will be matched by the Leetz Family Match.
What does it mean to Walk From Home?
When you walk from home there are two steps.
- Walk
- Share with friends and family that you are walking to raise funds for juvenile myositis care, research, and programs. Every step raises funds to bring us closer to a cure!
- Walk around your neighborhood. Make it a short walk around your block while encouraging your community to give.
- Walk at a park. Make a day of it with your family and enjoy a fun day at the park and invite your supporters to join you.
- Walk anywhere. We love it when families find fun and creative ways to Walk From Home.
- Gather and walk with other Cure JM families.
- Pick a local area that works.
- Post the date and location to your local chapter and see who wants to join you.
- Ask everyone to bring their own snacks/water.
- Enjoy walking and send photos to walks@curejm.org or tag #curejm on social.
- Help kids get the best care
- Pursue promising new treatments
- Advance four clinical trials
- Fund our new grant cycle, including investigating a new type of gene therapy
Checks can be made out to Cure JM and mailed to Cure JM, P.O. Box 45768, Baltimore, MD 21297, with the honoree and “Leetz Family Match” in the memo.
Thank you. Your gift gives children hope for better treatments, a brighter future, and a cure.
