Scleroderma Society Trustees
Richard Dodds
I have had scleroderma since 2001. Coming to terms with a chronic disease and dealing with the various shaped spanners that scleroderma can throw into the works is not always easy. The amount of support and information that the Scleroderma Society has provided me over the years has been a great help so the chance to put something back by becoming a trustee is a great honour.
I am a chartered accountant by trade and have worked on the board of several not-for-profit organisations. I hope my skills can help the society in its invaluable work increasing awareness, funding research and, above all, supporting people with scleroderma. I am currently self-employed which helps me balance work and health a little better. When not doing numbers, I am looking after my fish or pretending I can still play tennis.
