Scleroderma, also called Systemic Sclerosis, is a rare chronic autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. Symptoms may be visible, as when the skin is affected, or invisible (when only internal organs are involved) or a combination of both. Characterized by unusual fibrotic processes resulting from increased production and deposits of collagen in the skin, the name Scleroderma derives from the Greek skleros (hard) and derma (skin). First reported in the mid-1700's, it remains difficult to diagnose. There is no known cure. Thanks to recent strides in research, more options now exist in many areas of symptom management. Symptoms of scleroderma may include one or more of the following: Raynaud's Phenomenon(abnormal sensitivity to cold) Swelling of the hands and/or feet Pain and stiffness in the joints Thickening of the skin, joint contractures Digestive system and gastro-intestinal tract problems Oral, facial, and dental problems Kidney, heart, and lung dysfunction

People Making a Difference (PMD) seeks to create a world in which people and businesses are socially aware and engaged in their communities such that they approach volunteerism by learning about problems and needs, becoming familiar with local charities that are working to address them, volunteering reliably, and providing other needed resources to make a difference. Our vision is for everyone to be able to volunteer productively a few times a year so that together we make a real difference throughout the year while learning important things along the way. People Making a Difference (PMD) organizes one-time, hands-on volunteer projects for individuals, partners with businesses to promote effective community involvement. Since PMD began in 1992, it has engaged and learned from more than 10,600 volunteers and 55 for-profit and public business partners.
