Hi! I'm Sheila, and I have scleroderma (systemic sclerosis)

I'm rowing 30km (well, more like 40km) around the Venetian islands on Sunday 24th May, in a race called the Vogalonga - read about it at https://vogalonga.com/it/ I'm raising money for Scleroderma UK; firstly to help those who have this debilitating and little-known incurable disease, secondly to help thank the many medics, academics and carers who look after those who suffer from it, and finally to give a bit of hope to those who have been diagnosed with it that one doesn't need to give up living just because of the disease - Don't give up, you can still do crazy stuff like this! For those who don't know what scleroderma and systemic sclerosis are, you can read about my kind here: https://www.sruk.co.uk/about-scleroderma/what-is-scleroderma/types-of-scleroderma/systemic-sclerosis/
