2020 Virtual Cruise for a Real Cure was Held Sunday, July 12, 2020
Due to the pandemic and the need for social distancing, the annual cruise went virtual in 2020! More than 100 participants took a virtual ride on the Hudson River to raise awareness and funding for scleroderma and Degos disease research and education. Along the way they heard from U.S. Congressman Paul Tonko who provided an udpate on his proposed legislation, the Helping Experts Accelerate Rare Treatments (HEART) Act, that aims to strengthen the review of rare disease treatment. Dr. Lee Shapiro also spoke about the foundation's efforts to improve the patient experience for those facing scleroderma and Degos disease by educating healthcare providers and supporting collaboration among researchers. And winners were announced for the event raffle and online auction.
