Scleroderma Awareness Month—and Our "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" Walk Season—Is Just a Week Away

June is a busy month in the scleroderma world. June is Scleroderma Awareness Month across the United States and Canada, and chapters and support groups are planning all kinds of awareness and outreach programs.

In addition, June is also the month when the vast majority of our "Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma" walks take place. If you’re not already involved with a walk, we invite you—and your family and friends—to visit www.scleroderma.org/walk_locations.shtm to find a walk near you.

"Stepping Out" walks are always a great day—with food, prizes, friendship, and, most importantly, dedication to a great cause.

Efforts to get the word out about scleroderma and the walks are well underway, with the Delaware Valley Chapter getting some time on the "Today" show this past week to talk about awareness month and their local events. Word is also coming in about news stories in print and on television about upcoming special events being held by support groups and chapters nationwide.
