On July 16th at Run Melbourne I will be running 21.1km and many family/friends walking 5.2km for those who can’t to raise funds for Scleroderma Victoria - a charity very close to our hearts.
My mum Sonja was diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune disease called Scleroderma in 2012. Mum was committed to keeping her life business as usual and never let Scleroderma get in her way.
Unfortunately in May of 2020 mum lost her battle with Scleroderma after her health dramatically declined at 58 years old.
Scleroderma is a rare systemic autoimmune connective tissue disorder affecting only approximately 6,000 Australians.
There is currently no cure for Scleroderma, only treatment to attempt to slow down the progression of the disease commonly affecting the heart, lungs and hardening of the skin.
Please help us fundraise for Scleroderma Victoria and FIND A CURE.
