Psoriasis Cure Now 2009 Virtual WalkThird Annual 'Short Sleeve Day' |
 |
Psoriasis is a serious disease that often brings physical and emotional hardships. Painful skin lesions that can be extensive, including on the face, hands and feet. Psoriatic arthritis that can bring crippling joint pain and disability to people in the prime of their lives. Feelings of helplessness, depression, despair. Psoriasis is associated with increased risk of heart attacks and diabetes, and severe psoriasis shortens life expectancy by an average of four years. So why is the annual federal investment in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis research just one dollar per patient?
The Psoriasis Cure Now "Short Sleeve Day" Virtual Walk 2009 is designed to change that. Participants will raise vital funds for Psoriasis Cure Now’s campaign to drive psoriasis research higher.
While we would love to host live walks in cities and towns from coast to coast, we are not able to do so. This Short Seeve Day Virtual Walk is for everyone who can't make it to one of our live events. Still, we’ll come together through the internet to connect with others battling psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, while we educate the public about these diseases and raise money to fight for a cure.
Register here to participate in this important event. Then ask your friends, family and coworkers to support you by making a contribution on your behalf. Or better yet, form a team with friends, family and coworkers, then fundraise together!
Working together, we’ll get psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis research on firm footing. And we’ll have fun doing it. Click here to register! |
