About two weeks ago, one of my closest and dearest relatives, my Aunt Sue, passed away from complications from scleroderma. It's a degenerative and, in almost all instances, fatal disease that hardens the skin and internal organs. Most people diagnosed die within about ten years. Her passing has been brutal on all of us, but not as brutal as the disease itself.
To honor the memory of my aunt, I am trying to raise awareness of this horrible and somewhat rare disease. To learn more about it, check out http://www.scleroderma.org/. I'm glad to have this opportunity to educate people on this disease- it's the only way researchers will hopefully find a cure!
