Scleroderma touches the lives of children, men and women. 1 out of 906 Americans have scleroderma.
Scleroderma is a chronic, autommimune connective tissue disease, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, inflammation and damage result.
Scleroderma ranges in severity from mild to life-threatening. Altough medications can slow the disease's progression and relieve symptoms, a cure for scleroderma has not yet been found.
Please consider this committment and the difference you can make in the lives of so many. We are a very organized group to work with and committed to make Stampede Scleroderma a positive experience for the over 1,000 guests who participate every year.
If you would like more information about this opportunity please email Executive Director Laura Dyas at ldyas@scleroderma-mi.org.
