25 years ago today, “For Hope”—a movie Directed and Executive Produced by Scleroderma Research Foundation board member @BobSaget—aired on ABC, gaining critical acclaim and changing how the world sees scleroderma. The film starred board member emeritus @DanaDelany and featured SRF founder Sharon Monksy.
“This film was inspired by my sister Gay who lost her life to scleroderma when she was only 47. It is incredibly painful to have a loved one experience a condition like this,” Bob says. “‘For Hope’ was an emotional film to make, but I know it still brings awareness to scleroderma and why we need research. There will be no improved treatment and there is no cure without the research.”
