June Awareness

June 1st, across Canada, starts Scleroderma Awareness Month which involves raising awareness of scleroderma and much needed funds for research. The yearly campaign ends on June 29th, World Scleroderma Day.

In 2024, B.C.’s patients, families, and friends, we came together once again in a sea-of-blue t-shirts and supported each other as we live with this rare disease.

Our Initiatives included:

Scleroderma Ride for Research
Kenny’s Groove to Cure Scleroderma
Virtual Yoga for World Scleroderma Day
Virtual Moving To Cure Scleroderma – Province Wide
Light Up the Pier

These events provided us the opportunity to connect over a shared cause; showcasing our enduring warrior spirit while raising funds to support research.

This year, we raised $101,715.25!!

100% of proceeds were allocated to Canadian scleroderma research projects
