ScleroCare is a powerful example of how donations create real, tangible change.
This platform allows patients to easily track their medical information, understand new research in plain language, and connect with others in the community. And with donor support, it’s now being built into a full app to reach even more people.

Projects like this don’t happen without you.

This Giving Tuesday, every donation is being matched, which means your gift goes twice as far in helping us fund innovative tools that support patients, strengthen care, and make a lasting difference.

2025 was a big year for scleroderma awareness!

We shared powerful patient stories and explained what scleroderma is through magazine features, both in print and online. Our awareness posts came to life as printed signs at every Make a Move walk, bringing our message directly to communities across the country. And we went big with a downtown Toronto billboard, reaching thousands and sparking conversation about this rare disease.

On top of all that, our team attended conferences to learn more, connect with experts, and bring back knowledge that helps us better support the scleroderma community.

None of this would be possible without your support. This Giving Tuesday, your donation goes even further thanks to a matching gift up to $10,000, doubling your impact and helping us continue these programs, and so much more, into 2026!

💙 Give today and help keep awareness, education, and support growing nationwide.

Your Giving Tuesday impact in action.

Because of donor support, two new Scleroderma Fellows have joined Ontario, strengthening research, training, and care for our community.

Dr. Carlos Enrique Toro Gutiérrez:
"Sponsorship during a clinical fellowship represents a vital investment in advancing medical knowledge and patient care. This support provides the opportunity to dedicate time and focus to research, innovation, and specialized training, all of which directly translate into better outcomes and stronger expertise. It is both an endorsement of commitment and a catalyst that allows meaningful progress in understanding and treating complex diseases like systemic sclerosis"

Dr. Tatiana Nevskaya:
"I have been doing research in the field of systemic sclerosis at Western University for 10 years. Prior to immigration to Canada, I had worked as a rheumatologist in the Scleroderma clinic of the Institute of Rheumatology in Moscow. This is a leading national Rheumatology institution in Russia, a quaternary referral center with an exceptionally large referral area - from all across the country. We dealt with the most severe and difficult clinical scenarios when patients with systemic sclerosis were referred to us by rheumatologists as they did not respond to standard care treatment or they experienced clinical symptoms mimicking systemic sclerosis while having other fibrotic conditions which required a different treatment approach.

I hope this experience with challenging situations in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and innovative approaches can be valuable for my clinical practice during the fellowship. I believe we need to pool all knowledge and resources from the Rheumatology centers worldwide to accelerate research and treating this rare disease.

Thank you again for this opportunity and for your commitment to support and fund research. I hope to one day be able to give back to the scleroderma community in Canada"

This is what donor impact looks like. Thank you for helping shape the future of scleroderma care.
