Scleroderma, also known as the \u201cdisease that mummifies\u201d, is a little known, chronic, life-threatening disease that affects 16 000 Canadians. Characterised by the overproduction of collagen, this autoimmune disease causes the immune system to attack its own cells.\u00a0 The disease typically shows up in midlife and affects women six times more than men.\u00a0 However, people of all ages can be affected, including children.\u00a0 Life expectancy is greatly reduced and death can follow ten years after diagnosis.<\/span><\/p>\n

About Scleroderma Quebec<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Founded in 1989 by Mr. Gilles Houl\u00e9 and his spouse Mrs. Suzanne Houl\u00e9, Scleroderma Quebec\u2019s mission is to help in three ways.\u00a0 First, it helps people with scleroderma by offering medical or moral support. Throughout Quebec, self-help and support groups contribute to breaking the isolation of those with the disease.\u00a0 Secondly, the organization raises funds for research.\u00a0 Thanks to its first fundraising campaign, Scleroderma Quebec created the only Research Chair in Canada and contributed nearly two million dollars to research.\u00a0 Thirdly, Scleroderma Quebec develops information tools for the general public as well as healthcare providers. Once we know more about the disease, then we can better reduce the fears of those affected by it and, with specialists, identify its pathology. sclerodermafoundation.ca\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
