What’s with
the Blue Gloves?
It’s because we’re the Blue Hand Group – families, friends,
supporters and patients of scleroderma.
We’re here to tell everyone about this disease and raise
money to find a cure.

We weren't feeling very optimistic on Saturday night while thunderstorms
and torrential rains were blowing through, but on Sunday we woke
to sunshine and blue skies in Dublin! It was a little cool for patients,
and many bundled up to join over 150 of their friends and families
at the event. Everyone enjoyed seeing animals from the Columbus
Zoo before the walk, and returned from a brisk lap in the beautiful
park to eat City Barbeque, play games, and bid on great silent auction
items.
We doubled our fundraising from last year thanks to great people
like adult prize winner Stacy Beckman, junior prize winner Isabelle
Hughes, and the top fundraising team The Hawks.
Our thanks to all of our sponsors and we'll see you all again next
year!
