2026 Stepping Out - Philly Metro

We're Fundraising to Cure Scleroderma!

Thank you so much for visiting my Team Fundraising page in support of this Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma event!

As most of you know, my wife had a horrible disease called scleroderma, which involves a progressive hardening of the connective tissue and which is very debilitating and can be fatal. Sharon had the disease for almost 40 years and passed away on Oct 7, 2025.      

On Saturday September 19, 2026, the National Scleroderma Foundation is having its annual Metro Philly Walk, which will be held along the Cooper River in New Jersey.

As I have in the past, I am asking for your support for the Walk

To make a donation, simply click “Donate” and complete the form. Every gift, no matter the size, directly supports the National Scleroderma Foundation’s mission to advance medical research, promote disease awareness, and provide support and education to people with scleroderma, their families, and support networks.

Want to get more involved? Click “Join Us” to sign up and help us raise funds and awareness together!

Our team deeply appreciates your generosity and encouragement. Please consider sharing this page with friends and family who may also want to support. 

Together, we can raise awareness, support those living with scleroderma, and bring us one step closer to finding a cure.
