“FOREVER FRIENDS”

We're BACK!!!!  It’s 2024! Time to step out for Scleroderma!!

We're excited because we're celebrating our 21st Anniversary Walk.

This year's walk will be held on Saturday, June 8, 2024

 We're inviting our friends and family to join us.

The annual scleroderma walk has become part of our family legacy. For many years, my sister, Rosa Johnson reached out to her family and friends requesting their support to help promote scleroderma awareness through community events, and fundraising. Your donations have helped to address our three-fold mission of education, support, and research.

My family and I continue to lead the Rochester “Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma” walk. Please consider participating or donating in honor of Rosa. Our fundraising goal is $2K.

 If you’re not able to participate in person, but would like to still support our team, the organization, and their efforts, please make a "DONATION!”
