Holiday Challenge: Help Beat Raynaud’s

If everyone who has Raynaud’s donated just one dollar, we could probably wipe it out. We’re looking to raise $1,000 before the end of the year. Every $1, $5, $10 helps us help you. Your help can help beat Raynaud’s.  So please donate today!

We’re received contributions from both our email and postal mailings not reflected on our web site ChipIn below.  The good news is that we’ve reached our goal and contributions continue!  A big THANK YOU to those who’ve donated – but we can still use more support.  If you haven’t yet, please donate now - any amount makes a difference!
