Thank you for visiting my fundraising page:

 

Recently I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s (pronounced "SHOW-grins") Syndrome. Sjögren’s is a progressive autoimmune disease that most people have never heard of and therefore in much need of further research and awareness. With Sjögren’s Syndrome the body’s immune system wages war upon its moisture producing glands. It frequently leads to debilitating fatigue, joint pain, and other systemic ailments. Treatments exist to help cope with the symptoms, but presently there is no cure. 

 

On May 2nd I am participating in the Philadelphia Sjögren’s Walkabout. By participating in the walkabout, I hope to raise money so science can one day find a cure for me (and the millions of other people who live with this) and reverse the damage.

 

I understand that times are tough, but I was hoping that you could donate to my fundraising site. There is no minimum to donate online.   Think of it as buying me a drink or two :-)  Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. If everyone donates even a nominal amount, I could raise a lot of money to help make a difference! .

I have a long time to live with this, so keep your fingers crossed that breakthroughs will be made. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

 

Love, Sandra
