Walk Strong Across America®

July 4, 2022

Cure JM is pleased to announce our 7th annual Walk Strong Across America.

Cure JM families, friends, and supporters from across the country are rallying to raise $750,000 by July 4th for Juvenile Myositis research.

We invite you to walk from the comfort of your home, in your yard or around your neighborhood.

Gifts will be matched by the Leetz Family Match.

Right now, there are no FDA-approved treatments and no cure for Juvenile Myositis, but together we can change that.

Like many rare diseases, research is only made possible by friends and family like you. With your support we can:

  • Pursue promising new treatments
  • Fund clinical trials
  • Expand our Centers of Excellence
  • Launch our NEW Clinical Care Network, which will expand excellent JM care to children around the country


Checks can be made out to Cure JM and mailed to:
Cure JM Foundation
P.O. Box 45768
Baltimore, MD 21297-5768
Please include “Leetz Family Match” and honoree name in the check memo.
