The Spokane Scleroderma Support Group is having an awareness and fundraiser walk June 20 at the Mirabeau Park Complex from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Also to honor Scleroderma Awareness Month, the Steam Plant will light its stacks to bring awareness June 15 from 5:30 to 6 p.m.

Scleroderma is an auto-immune disease that can cause the skin to harden.

The “Walk Into the Future” event is in conjunction with the Seattle area Evergreen Chapter that is also having a walk. Participants will walk in honor or memory of loved ones affected by scleroderma. The event raises money for research to find a cause and cure.

The Spokane walk is at 13500 E. Mirabeau Parkway, Spokane Valley. For more information or to register, go to www.scleroderma.org and locate the Washington state chapter.
