Why Do You Walk for Scleroderma?

Over the next few months, thousands of people from across the country will share their personal stories of why they walk and how scleroderma has impacted their lives by uploading "Walk for Cure" videos. Then, they will use their videos to raise awareness and funds for our signature fundraising events, the "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" walk-a-thons. Our walks take place all across the U.S and are a powerful way to enhance scleroderma awareness, mobilize the community and have lots of fun.

We encourage you to share your own video story by sending it to us for inclusion on the "Walk for Cure" site. At the end of the year, Walk for Cure we'll compile the videos together into one movie, burn a bunch of DVDs, and then mail those DVDs to every member of Congress and to the President of the United States as a powerful statement of the need for more resources for scleroderma research.
