Scleroderma Awareness Month

June is Scleroderma Awareness Month. We know that every person’s experience with scleroderma is unique.

Each June, the National Scleroderma Foundation shines a light on individual journeys with scleroderma by sharing stories from members of our community, hosting special #TealTalk events, and Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma events.

Awareness Month will culminate on World Scleroderma Day, June 29. World Scleroderma Day highlights the need to increase awareness of scleroderma and to advocate for those affected by this life-threatening disease.  June 29 was selected in 2009 by FESCA (Federation of European Scleroderma Associations) as World Scleroderma Day to commemorate Paul Klee, a gifted abstract artist who died of systemic sclerosis on June 29, 1940.
