Zoe and Emilys walk · 27 June 2020

We are the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by Scleroderma and Raynaud’s. We exist to improve awareness and understanding of these conditions, to support those affected, and ultimately to find a cure.

Story

This year we have decided to walk the Hangers Way on Saturday June 27th to raise money to help find a cure for Scleroderma. This is a very personal issue to both of us as we both have family members diagnosed with this rare disease. Zoe's mother was diagnosed 2 years ago. Emily's younger sister has been living with the condition for 3 years.

Scleroderma is an auto immune disease which sees the body attack its own connective tissues; the condition causes scarring and hard thickening areas of tissue. Most cases of scleroderma only affect the skin, but more aggressive forms, such as systemic scleroderma, have been found to harm internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, and joints. It can also cause joints to be increasingly stiff, swollen and sore.

There is currently no cure for Scleroderma. The money raised by our walk will be used to help fund research, to support patients, raise awareness and ultimately find a cure for this disease. Please consider making a donation.
Thank you!!
