My personal message:
Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page.  I have been involved with research and clinical management of patients with scleroderma ever since coming to MUSC in 1981.  We have made great strides, but much more remains to be done before we understand the cause and can cure scleroderma.  Research funded by the Scleroderma Foundation has meant a great deal to me personally, as well as to other members of the Division of Rheumatology & Immunology at MUSC.  With the shrinking Federal budget for scleroderma research, your support of the Scleroderma Foundation takes on even greater importance.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!
