Scleroderma Atlantic

Raise money for Scleroderma Atlantic

Scleroderma Atlantic is committed to enriching the lives of people living with scleroderma in Atlantic Canada.


Scleroderma is a rare, progressive, and chronic autoimmune connective tissue disorder that causes excess collagen accumulation. 


The word scleroderma literally means ‘hard skin’ and is derived from the Greek words “sclerosis” meaning hardness and “derma” meaning skin. It is this thickening of the skin that is the most characteristic feature of scleroderma. Less visible, but of major importance, are the vascular lesions that occur in small blood vessels, and which may affect major organs. 


There is currently no known cause or cure for scleroderma. By supporting us, you join a compassionate community dedicated to providing much-needed assistance and hope to individuals affected by scleroderma. With your generosity, we can raise awareness, and improve the quality of life for those living with scleroderma.
