 Shag Off, Scleroderma!

For the third year in a  row, on behalf of the Lovelies, Gaelandia Cares is holding a fundraising  raffle for charity. At the request of a community member, this year’s  fundraising efforts will support scleroderma research.

Scleroderma  is a chronic and painful autoimmune disorder, like its better-known  cousins MS, fibromyalgia, and lupus. With scleroderma, the body’s immune  system mistakenly attacks healthy cells by continually creating extra  collagen. This extra collagen can cause symptoms from hardening and  tightening of the skin, to limited mobility in joints and connective  tissue, to hardening of internal organs leading to organ failure. Six  out of seven scleroderma sufferers are women.

Because Gaelandia  is an international community, we had hoped to fund an international  organization. Unfortunately, the only reputable world-wide Scleroderma  organization, the World Scleroderma Foundation, does not accept online  donations; in fact, they require potential donors to give them personal  data before sending instructions to make the actual donation. In the  interest of respecting Lovelies’ privacy, we have therefore chosen to  support the US-based Scleroderma Foundation.

SF  funds medical research led by both world-renowned specialists and  up-and-coming researchers, as well as providing medically sound  information and educational resources for scleroderma patients and those  who love them around the world. In addition, the foundation offers a  variety of support services for those living with scleroderma. For more  information regarding the Scleroderma Foundation and their efforts,  please visit: scleroderma.org.

Help  us help Scleroderma Foundation advance their research and expand their  support for patients by making a donation if you can, or by spreading  the word if you're not able to donate. As a thank you for your support,  you’ll receive raffle entries for a chance to win some incredible – and  pricelessss – prizes!

Keep an eye out on the Community Pages on  Sugar, Spice, and Scaleforce for more information and reminders through  the end of the draw. You never know who might drop by to lend their  ssssupport! Keep reading for more details on the raffle itself...
