Itching for a Cure- Donate to Help Find a Cure for Eczema

November 4, 2013

October was National Eczema Awareness month. For the first time, I posted about this disease, I passed out stickers, bracelets and did my best to educate everyone about Eczema both online and in person. I was extremely grateful for everyone who showed their support by wearing my stickers, reading my posts and in general educating themselves more about this horrible disease.

Now that it’s November I want to make sure that Eczema awareness continues all year long. Social Media has revolutionized the ability for us to spread information. It’s also revolutionized the way fundraisers are being held. Gone are the days of holding 24 hour telethons and in are online fundraising campaigns. I have personally donated to a plethora of online fundraising campaigns from causes to helping needy kids to cancer research and animal rescue yet I have never donated to a cause that directly impacts me.  Not sure why I never thought to do this, but now is a better time than never.

I’m launching my very own online fundraiser called “Itching for a Cure”.  My goal is to find a cure for Eczema. It’s taken me over 20 years to finally speak out about this skin disease. I have been living with moderate to severe eczema my entire life and have tried every treatment imaginable, yet am still not cured. Every doctor and medical professional will tell you that it’s a chronic condition with no cure, so it’s time for me to take matters into my own itchy hands. I WILL LIVE TO SEE A CURE FOR ECZEMA and I 100% believe this.

You’re probably wondering, what is Eczema? Eczema, also known as Atopic Dermatitis is a skin disease. The symptoms include dry, sensitive skin with an intensive itch. Luckily, eczema is not contagious and cannot be transferred from skin contact or bodily fluids because I would not wish my suffering on any human being.

This campaign is to help Eczema sufferers all over the world. If you would like to donate to a cause that directly impacts me, I encourage you to make a contribution. All proceeds of this campaign will go toward finding a cure for Eczema. The money will be distributed to things such as the National Eczema Association, Eczema support groups and Eczema research. My goal is to raise as much money as possible until there is a cure. I am aiming high with $113,000 because 13 is my lucky number and I want to have access to as many resources as possible in my quest to find a cure. Even if you donate $1, every single penny is appreciated. I’m itching for a cure and look forward to having you join me in my quest.

You can read my entire story and struggle with Eczema here. Thank you in advance for your consideration and taking the time to read about Eczema. Even if you’re not able to make a contribution, perhaps you can share this with someone who cares about the cause at least you are a little more educated about the cause. Thank you all so much, I’m itching for a cure and grateful for an opportunity to raise funds.
