Help our team bring more awareness to scleroderma so we can find a cure!

A little bit about us: We are walking to raise Scleroderma awareness. Our daughter, Emma, has juvenile Systemimc Scloerosis, a rare autoimmune disease. It is our mission to raise awareness for this disease in order to find a cure. It is a multi-system disease of unknown origin that has an incidence of 1 in 1 Million for children, affects females 4x more than males, affects caucasians more than other race in children, and has a mean age onset of 8.8 years. (Emma was 5 years old at diagnosis.) There is no cure for scleroderma and treatments are limited, but research is being done and we are hopeful for a cure.

Thank you for supporting Emma through her fight with systemic sclerosis. Even if you are unable to donate, you can help us by spreading the word about scleroderma.

Love,

Tom and Jen
