The Scleroderma Society of Canada, based in Hamilton, Ontario, is dedicated to supporting individuals affected by scleroderma, a rare autoimmune connective tissue disorder. Scleroderma is characterized by the overproduction of collagen, leading to the thickening, hardening, and scarring of tissues, affecting not only the skin but also major organs due to vascular lesions in small blood vessels.
With a focus on raising awareness and providing resources, the society offers funding to physicians and researchers for advancements in diagnosing and treating scleroderma. They aim to keep the community informed through social media updates and ongoing research initiatives, encouraging individuals to stay engaged and learn more about this complex condition.
