Members and friends of TMA help teach others about myositis and raise money for research, member programs and more. Getting involved helps you, too!

Teach your friends and family about juvenile myositis. Print off pages from this web site or just talk to them about it-what it is, how it makes you feel, what medicines you're taking. Some children and teenagers use JM as the topic for school projects and written reports.

Volunteer. TMA families host school walkathons, golf tournaments and other events to get the whole community involved. Find out how your family can work with other TMA members and families. Email TMA.

Contribute to TMA. Allyson, a TMA member with JM, collected birthday money from her family and donated all of it to TMA for its JM programs and services. Be creative.

Communicate with The Myositis Association. Let TMA staff know how you're doing and what you want to know more about-in the newsletters, on the web site and more.

Do you have more ideas on how you can teach others or raise money to help? Let us know your ideas, and we'll help you. Email TMA.
