Submit Your Story
Story Submission Form. Stories are now being accepted for posting on this website from patients with scleroderma or related illnesses, including the undiagnosed...plus from their survivors, caregivers or friends.
Your story can help others feel like they're not alone and raise public awareness of illness and its impact on people's lives. Raising public awareness is an essential step in drumming up the public and financial support for finding a cure.
That's why sharing your story is a small way in which you can make a big difference! See How to Submit Your Story for easy story guidelines and a very simple online Story Submission Form.
