Help Us Honor Bob Saget’s Legacy with The Scleroderma Research Foundation
Apr 25, 2023 Season 2 Episode 2
Caitlin McHugh Stamos

The sudden loss of our dear friend Bob Saget January 9, 2022, was not only a terrible loss for those of us who knew and loved him, but the entire scleroderma community. Motivated by the passing of his sister, Gay, at the age of 47 in 1994 from systemic sclerosis, Bob devoted the rest of his life to raising awareness of the disease and funding for scleroderma research. He was a long-time board member of the Scleroderma Research Foundation.  Since Bob can no longer be a champion for this cause, we want to do what we can to keep his torch going.
