🍂❄️ The seasons are changing, temperatures are dropping, and for many people living with Raynaud's, that can mean extra challenges when it comes to staying warm and managing symptoms.

October is Raynaud's Awareness Month, and throughout the month we'll be sharing information about Raynaud's phenomenon, raising awareness of its connection to scleroderma, highlighting practical tips for managing symptoms, and talking about our community's favourite cold-weather essentials and must-haves.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or have been managing Raynaud's for years, we hope you'll join us as we learn, share, and raise awareness together.

Your generosity, enthusiasm, and commitment continue to help us bring awareness to scleroderma throughout the Hamilton community and beyond. We are so grateful to welcome both familiar faces and new members to this growing event each year.

We are pleased to welcome Take a Pain Check to our 22nd Bi-Annual National Scleroderma Conference Exhibit Hall!

Take a Pain Check was launched as a podcast in March 2021 by Natasha Trehan. Natasha was diagnosed at the age of 13 with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, and is currently furthering her education, after completing her undergraduate degree in Translational and Molecular Medicine at the University of Ottawa in 2025. As a teenager, she felt alone and was unable to find resources to connect with other people with similar lived experiences. After joining a support group 2 years into her journey, and meeting tons of other youth, Take a Pain Check Podcast was born to ensure that young patients feel supported in every step of the way.

Soon after the podcast launched, a community was built and we became Take a Pain Check Foundation in October 2021. Take a Pain Check Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to the mission and vision of supporting youth and young adults with rheumatic diseases through social media, initiatives, advocacy, and raising awareness. Take a Pain Check is currently changing the lives of individuals impacted with rheumatic diseases by creating a safe community. The goal is to empower youth to advocate for themselves, and to create a place where they feel understood.
