$1,167 for Scleroderma

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you for purchasing the A Muse 2008 Calendar.  With your support, we have raised $1,167 for Scleroderma Research.  Wow!!  I will be mailing a check to the Scleroderma Research Foundation in this amount tomorrow. 

Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from the various types of scleroderma, and as many as 10,000 patients die every year from the most serious form of the disease.  Eighty percent of those afflicted with the disease are women, though scleroderma also strikes men and children across all ages and ethnic boundaries. Unfortunately, the disease typically strikes in the prime of patients’ lives, when they are 30-50 years old.

My mother has scleroderma, so I thank you for your enthusiastic support!  The Calendar will remain for sale until I have time to create a new one for 2009.

That is so amazing! I bought my calendar ~ haven't played with it yet but it is on my list of things to do. I should start on that before 2008 is over! I can't believe it's the end of January already!!! Time flies. :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I happen to have Scleroderma and am happy to see the response you received on your calendars! I, of course, bought one & used it as a gift with www.scleroderma.org noted on the bottom of each page. Thank you for getting the word out about this unknown disease!
