May is Myositis Awareness Month! It’s a time for the myositis community to raise our collective voices and let the world know what this rare disease is all about. It’s TMA’s mission to support those who live with myositis and their care partners by bringing awareness, sharing resources, educating patients and the public about myositis diseases, sharing strategies for advocacy, and building a stronger and more connected myositis community.

This May, 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.

With your help, we can educate the community and the world!
