Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page to support the "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" event! This will be the 12th event that I have have been involved in. I began volunteering in 2008 when my mom started working at SFMC.
Walking, running or volunteering, it doesn't matter how you get involved, I am only asking that you do. The event needs donations, sponsors and in-kind donations of food also. Everyone can help out in some way. Our family has no direct connection to scleroderma but since 2008 we have met thousands of persons living with the disease and I have heard hundreds of personal stories from family members. I don't need a connection to know scleroderma changes lives. I know that staying home on June 7th will not help SFMC get closer to finding a cure. Staying home of June 7th will not help SFMC provide educational webinars, resources or programs for those who have the disease.
If you can't come, donate. If you can come, donate also. Every dollar means we are one step closer to finding the cure, one step closer to someone in your family not hearing their doctor say, "You have scleroderma and I am sorry but there is no cure for this disease." You make a difference when you get involved.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to support our family team and help raise funds for scleroderma patients. To make a donation, click the "Donate Now" button that appears under my photo. Then, just follow the instructions. I thank you for doing this.
If you would like to join my family at the event, and run, volunteer or walk and help raise funds, please click on “Join My Team” and follow the directions. They make it very easy to get involved. You call also talk to my mom and she can help you do this if you can't figure out how to register.
Please help today! I sincerely appreciate your support, and please share this with anyone who you think might want to help.
Help my family bring more awareness to scleroderma so we can find a cure!
Thanks,
Derrick Dyas
