Today is Myositis Awareness Day.
Juvenile Myositis (JM), including Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) and Juvenile Polymyositis (JPM), is a group of rare and life-threatening autoimmune diseases, where the body’s immune system attacks its own cells and tissues.
Everyday we're fighting to educate at all levels, and increase awareness and understanding of JM.
Through connection, education and fundraising, we can improve the lives of our children and get closer to a cure.
You can find a lot of information about JM and the ways that we support families and the healthcare community at curejm.org.
