Join us this June for our virtual event, Moving to Cure Scleroderma! Wherever you live, pick a day, wear blue, and get moving—walk, run, bike, dance, stretch—whatever gets you active and raises awareness. 💙 Why We Move: We move for hope. Hope for earlier diagnosis, better treatment, and ultimately, a cure for scleroderma—a rare and chronic autoimmune disease that affects thousands across Canada. 💰 Where Your Donations Go: 100% of the funds raised support scleroderma research in BC and across Canada. Your steps, your strength, and your support bring us closer to a cure. So get active, spread the word, and help us keep the momentum going! |
