Join us in raising your voice and telling the world what this rare disease is all about. All month we have an enhanced lineup of free webinars and a toolkit of powerful resources to help you tell your story, support each other, expand the world’s understanding of myositis, and, in doing so, shorten the wait between symptoms and diagnosis. Ultimately, your efforts will also speed up the search for better treatments and a cure.
