Please think about forming a TEAM to unite your efforts. Teams can be made up of a group of family members, friends or co-workers. Everyone is dedicated to a common cause. Walking as a team adds fun and greater success. For information about forming a team contact amatich@scleroderma.org or call 1-800-867-0885.
If you can’t walk but would like to help, PLEASE VOLUNTEER! Volunteers bring excitement and much needed help. And like walkers, volunteers need to register and can collect donations.
If you can’t make the walk in your area plan a road trip to attend one in another location. Help conquer scleroderma and celebrate with your extended scleroderma family.
Don’t be shy! Help us set a new record in 2010 and top the $500,000 mark. Help us lead the way in searching for a cure while creating more awareness.
For further walk, registration and volunteer information call the Scleroderma Foundation/Tri-State, Inc. Chapter at 800-867-0885 or email to sdtristate@scleroderma.org.
