What is Pediatric Scleroderma?
Scleroderma is a rare rheumatic autoimmune disease that affects connective tissue and vascular system. It produces excessive collagen that causes scarring and hardening of the skin (localized) or in internal organs (systemic). The result can be disfigurement and disability, for some it is life threatening. The cause is unknown and there is no cure. Scleroderma is thought to be an adult disease. There are 5,000-7,000 children with Scleroderma in the United States.
Our Mission
ALM’s purpose is to increase awareness about Pediatric Scleroderma. When diseases are so rare and so few are affected, they are often underfunded. We aim to raise money for research, treatments, and an eventual cure. In addition, we want to improve the day-to-day lives of those children affected. We want to provide emotional support for them and their families. We are proud supporters of the National Scleroderma Foundation, specifically in funding services for their pediatric community.
Learn about ways to give, support Linear Scleroderma, and help to Luke’s efforts to search for a cure.
