As May wraps up, we’re honoring Mental Health and Myositis Awareness Month with breaking news! Cure JM’s Suzanne Edison helped shape new American College of Rheumatology (ACR) guidance on mental health for juvenile myositis patients. “This guidance is a vital step toward ensuring kids with JM get the emotional support they need,” Suzanne says. Kids with JM face depression and anxiety at higher rates, and this milestone prioritizes their well-being alongside physical care. Join us in supporting families and advancing care.

Cure JM proudly funds Dr. Sara Sabbagh’s groundbreaking juvenile myositis research at the University of Wisconsin. Why does inflammation spiral in JM, weakening muscles? Her lab studies T regulatory and Th17 cells, plus Notch3 and TGF-β proteins, to uncover why healing fails. By fixing these signals, she aims to stop harmful inflammation and restore muscle repair, helping kids heal faster and feel stronger. Your support drives this hope for therapies that truly heal.
