“I want people to know that you can live a full life with chronic illness,” shares She Shutes (diagnosed in 2017). “It’s not over—it’s just different.”
In this video, she reflects on the ways scleroderma has changed her life—both the challenges and the growth that came with them—and why she’s passionate about advancing research.
We’re grateful to She Shutes for sharing her story. Every story helps build understanding and awareness of how scleroderma can shape people’s lives—and brings us closer to a cure.
