Boston Walk to Cure Psoriasis this Saturday, Oct. 15th

Join Drug Market Info founder Mary Beth Cicero and walk to raise money for important Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) research

Many of you know that Mary Beth was on the Board of the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) for many years and is still very much devoted to the cause. For the very first time, the National Psoriasis Foundation is sponsoring a Walk in Boston on Castle Island this Saturday, Oct 15th.

You may not know that Psoriasis is the most prevalent autoimmune disease, affecting as many as 7.5 million Americans and 125 million worldwide. Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) present a huge personal hardship on individuals and their families, yet research to determine the cause and develop a cure has frankly been lacking.

For this reason, the NPF is working to increase the number of dollars, scientists and research projects devoted to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The Foundation’s research investment has increased from $250k/yr to almost $2 million/yr but more is needed.

That is why Mary Beth will be participating in the Boston Walk To Cure Psoriasis on Saturday October 15th. We hope that you will consider contributing to the walk for her team. Even better contribute AND come to the Walk—the weather has been so nice lately that a walk on Castle Island should be great!
