Cure JM Foundation is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Encinitas, California, that operates as a volunteer-managed organization dedicated to discovering a cure for Juvenile Myositis. JM refers to a family of rare, life-threatening autoimmune conditions that affect children. The foundation focuses on supporting families dealing with JM, raising public awareness of the disease, and funding research aimed at delivering a cure. Estimates place JM among conditions impacting roughly 17,000 children in the United States. In June 2013, Cure JM formed strategic partnerships to advance its work, including a collaboration with ReveraGen BioPharma, a clinical-stage drug development company pursuing new anti-inflammatory therapies. It also partnered with Carra Group and the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) to establish a multi-center JM patient registry.
