Welcome to my fundraiser for the National Scleroderma Foundation!
Hi, friends and family!
I will be participating in the Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma fundraising walk in an effort to raise funds and much-needed awareness of this debilitating autoimmune disease. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with scleroderma several years ago, and the effects on my life have been drastic.

• Scleroderma is also known as systemic sclerosis. The word scleroderma means hard skin.
• Scleroderma is characterized by the hardening and thickening of the skin, as well as damage to internal organs and tissues.
• It is estimated that there are 300,000 cases of scleroderma in the U.S.
• Scleroderma typically strikes between the ages of 35 and 55.
• Misdiagnosis is common. It can take three years or more for an individual to be diagnosed and to receive appropriate treatment.
• Federal funding for scleroderma research lags behind funding for other diseases of similar prevalence.
Your donation will help to improve the lives of the many people affected by scleroderma, through advancing medical research, promoting disease awareness, and providing support and education to everyone affected by this disease.
I sincerely appreciate your support!! Thank you so much!!!
