Cure JM Foundation

The families of Cedar Hill School are joining together for a Read-a-Thon to benefit Cure JM Foundation in honor of Brendan Kovacs.



Like most rare diseases, JM research funding comes almost entirely from grassroots efforts like this Read-a-Thon. 



All gifts go straight to Cure JM Foundation and will support crucial work, including:

· Making JM research at 24 major institutions around the world possible

· Funding drug discovery and development research, so children will have more and better treatments

· Investing in research to understand the genes that contribute to JM

· Finding and supporting the “best and the brightest” of the next generation of doctors and researchers that will support and treat our children



Gifts can be made online on this fundraising page.  

Or checks can be made out to Cure JM with the memo "Books for Brendan" and mailed to Cure JM, P.O. Box 45768, Baltimore, MD 21297.

We always say, “A Cure Can’t Wait.” Neither can these kids. We’re so grateful to you.
