Now, family, friends, coworkers, and others are rallying around them through Cure JM’s Holiday Challenge to support research.

We do not talk enough about the grief that can accompany a rare disease diagnosis.

Caregivers can deeply love and feel grateful for the child in front of them while still grieving the life they once imagined for their child and family. Both can be true. 💙
