Welcome to My Personal Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma Page!
Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page to support the 2023 Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma event!
Some of you may know my story…. But others probably do not….
I was diagnosed with scleroderma in 2001. It went into complete remission in 2002 and it didn’t affect me until this past October, 2022, following a Covid booster.
Scleroderma is a rare, chronic, autoimmune disease. There is no known cause and no known cure YET. The immune system in a patient with scleroderma attacks its own body. Scleroderma means “hard skin”. However, the disease causes serious damage to internal organs including the lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract. There are some medications which can ease some symptoms but there is NO cure. The disease affects everyone differently.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution and support me to help raise funds for scleroderma patients. To make a donation, click the "Donate Now" button, then just follow the instructions.
If you would like to join me and Art and help raise funds, please click on “Join My Team” and follow the directions. Don't see the Join button, let me know and we can create a team.
Help me bring more awareness to scleroderma so we can raise awareness and find a cure!
Thank you so very much❤
Denise
