Dear
Friends,
After
many years of being in the midst of the battle to find a cure
for scleroderma, I’ve learned that one of the most important
truths we all live with is that change is always inevitable.
With
this truth in mind—and after much soul-searching and
careful consideration—I have tendered my resignation
as the President/CEO of the Scleroderma Foundation, effective
today, February 17. |
