Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page to support this Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma event!
Hey guys!
I am so thrilled to announce that Gina's Gladiators will be walking once again this year in the Stepping Out to Cure Scleroderma walk put on by the National Scleroderma Foundation New England Chapter. We will be walking in Bristol on May 16th!
For those of you who don't know, one of my best friends, Gina Bessacini, was diagnosed with scleroderma at the age of 19 and has been courageously fighting this disease ever since.
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease involving the overproduction of collagen, leading to a hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. There is no cure for this disease.
As always, we are happy to accept any donation, no matter how small! You don't have to walk with us, but the more the merrier! Please consider joining our team or donating. For the last two years, Gina's Gladiators were the top earning team in New England and we'd like to the do this same this year (none of us like losing!)
Your donations help fund new treatments for scleroderma, spread awareness, provide support and education, and hopefully one day there will be a CURE!
Your support means so much. Donating through this site is quick, easy, and secure, and it’s the most effective way to help me raise funds that directly support 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. To make a donation, simply click “Donate” and complete the form.

Thank you for continuing to organize
