The Scleroderma Foundation Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

The Scleroderma Foundation turned 10 on January 1 and to commemorate this milestone, a special 10th Anniversary logo will appear on all Foundation electronic and printed materials through the end of 2008.

Take survey here. Thank you for helping us.
