Blue

Today, I'll wear my blue,
not for autism - which needs much support;
not for police - who deserves our respect;
but for myositis.


Juvenile Dermatomyositis
is the life-threatening auto-immune disease
that my son was diagnosed with in the 3rd grade.
It attacks the skin and muscles and organs.
There is no cure.
2 in a million are diagnosed.
It is rare.
The path of treatment is different for each child.
We were told maybe two years . . .
we were treated for seven!
But we are a victory!
My son is doing well.
He is healthy and thriving.
We have lost others.


Spread the word.
Raise awareness.
Get your blue on!
