About Scleroderma

Scleroderma is a chronic, degenerative autoimmune disease that predominantly affects women in the prime of their lives, but impacts children and men as well.

Scleroderma is characterized by a hardening of the body’s connective tissue due to an overproduction of collagen.   Scleroderma is a painful, life altering disease that is fatal in its most severe forms.

There are an estimated 300,000 cases of Scleroderma in the United States.  There is no way to screen for the disease and there is no cure.   Together, we believe we can change that.
