Myah Stuemke and husband Brett

Myah Stuemke was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis in August 2000 at the age of 13. After many years of rashes, severe fatigue and muscle weakness Myah and her family had finally found their answer. Though the JDM is still active, Myah has not let this limit her life at all. She recently became very active in the Cure JM Foundation, where her main goals are raising funds and creating awareness of this rare disease.

In addition to the work that Myah has done with the Cure JM Foundation, she also keeps herself very busy working full time as part of the sales team at Patterson Dental, a computer software company. She also splits her spare time between coaching a High School Cheerleading squad for their local community and running a Competitive Cheerleading program at a local gym.

Myah, her husband Brett and family are very passionate about this cause, willing to do everything they can to make sure that no one suffering from this disease goes undiagnosed and untreated. Her main goal is to make sure each person suffering from JM have as many happy life stories to tell as she does
