These walks are held in various locations throughout the Tri-State region of NY, NJ & CT bringing together volunteers and communities to support one goal in finding a cure for scleroderma.
    • Support groups are established across our service area, including virtual support groups, and we continually promote starting new groups in under-served areas.
    • We present annual educational forums, where leading scleroderma researchers, doctors, and other professionals are available to patients and caregivers.

    Our vision is "Striving for a Cure". Come join us and make an impact in our community.
