Latest Breakthrough: Raising Scleroderma Awareness at Fox Cities Stadium

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers recently played a doubleheader at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, where the Upper Great Lakes chapter of the National Scleroderma Foundation organized a walk to raise awareness about scleroderma, a rare autoimmune disease. Randy Slikkers, the chapter's executive director, highlighted the importance of spreading awareness about the autoimmune disorder, which affects many individuals in different ways.

During the walk, Camille Novachek, who is currently battling scleroderma, emphasized the need to raise awareness for rare diseases like scleroderma that often go unnoticed. She stressed the importance of spreading the word and garnering support for those struggling with rare diseases that require more attention from the community. Novachek's advocacy highlighted the significance of educating the public about lesser-known health conditions and the impact they have on individuals and their families.

The chapter's initiative to visit various ballparks in the region and host more events reflects their dedication to raising awareness about scleroderma and supporting those affected by the disease. By engaging with the community and sharing their mission, the chapter aims to shed light on the challenges faced by individuals with scleroderma and other rare diseases. Their efforts to advocate for increased awareness and support demonstrate a commitment to making a difference in the lives of those impacted by autoimmune disorders like scleroderma.
