Dancing in the Rain

How to Dance in the Rain
Rxs For the Mind, Body and Spirit
A Full Day Seminar for the Autoimmune Community

When was the last time you actually danced in the rain? Felt the rain drops on your cheeks, your face and watched as your feet stomped in the puddles? Playing in the rain doesn’t have to stop just because you have grown up or because you have scleroderma or an autoimmune disease. Life has not stopped, don’t allow it to! Take control of your life and your health today!

Every year the Scleroderma Foundation Michigan Chapter along with other nonprofits in the state of Michigan that work with autoimmune related diseases come together for one day to help YOU remember what it was like to dance in the rain.

Keep checking back for details on the 2012 event or call the MI Chapter office and ask to be placed on the mailing list or E-blast list to assure you will have updated information. (248) 595-8526.

Until we meet again next year…keep DANCING!
