“When I was diagnosed with scleroderma at nine years old, I felt isolated and alone. Attending the Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma walks changed this by making me feel seen and giving me the strength and encouragement to keep battling this disease. Today, I walk so that no one else has to feel alone.”
– Samantha Stackpole
