2006 Recognition of Our Volunteers

MONDAY VOLUNTEERS

• Teresa Didio Baker
  Norfolk (VA) Support Group
  Scleroderma Foundation

  “Teresa is my sister. I am a scleroderma patient. When we found out about my diagnosis in January 2006, she immediately took action to find a way to raise money for research and awareness of the disease. She has joined forces with the Delaware Valley Chapter and the Kenny Wallace Race Team to auction/raffle a golf cart. She starts at the May 5 Richmond race collecting racer signatures and letting people know how they can win the golf cart. Contact her at tbaker5221@aol.com to find out how you can help her get the word out.

• Dagne Lazenby
  President, Ohio Chapter
  Scleroderma Foundation

  “I met Dagne back in 2002, that was out first meeting. She had taken the time to come up to Maumee, Ohio to meet with me so I could get a support group started here. I am glad to have met her and her husband, Gary. Dagne calls to make sure I have everything I need for group meetings. If I ever need anything she is there to help any way she can. She is a worthy volunteer.”          Jerri Sue DeTray, Toledo area support group
