We are starting off Hype Week with four strong women! Join us for the premiere of the Myositis Empower Hour at 4:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm CT / 2:00 pm MT / 1:00 pm PT. You will hear from Ashley Repp, Miriam Swanborough, Corene Canaan and Waiyee Hui, and their personal experiences being diagnosed with myositis as a young adult. Their stories are impactful, inspiring and a good reminder that we are not alone.

Watch the interviews on MSU’s Facebook & YouTube.

It’s Talk Tuesday! Hear from MSU volunteer Jason Hopfauf and his experience attending the TMA conference for the first time. He’ll share how special it is to have such a wonderful community to lean on and why it’s important we all work together.

Happy Wish Wednesday! Use today to wish the Myositis Empower Walk a Happy Birthday on social media and share what the walk has done for you over the last 5 years! You can even share what you wish for the future of the Walk. Our family is excited to be celebrating this milestone with you and we are thankful for your wishes!

Let’s take today to Treat our Care Partners! Share some extra kind words with them, give them their favorite sweet treats, or give them a shoutout on social media. However you decide to “treat” them, make sure to celebrate their love and support! We are not alone on our myositis journey, and care partners are a big reason for that.

Let’s get ready for the walk! Share your fundraising page with family and friends and encourage participation at the walk tomorrow – whether it’s virtually or in person. We can’t wait to see you there!
