While we encourage our community to help lead in Sarcoidosis Awareness month and create their own Steps for Sarc team, we recognize not everyone has the capacity to do that which is why FSR has created the #MakeItVisible General Team. If you are not able to create your own team, we invite you to join us and help #MakeItVisible!

All month long, Team #MakeItVisible General will be taking the steps to make sarcoidosis visible and help support FSR’s mission – stop sarcoidosis. We need you to join us because, too often, our community gets asked “What is sarcoidosis” and too many people can’t even pronounce the word. Sarcoidosis does not get the representation it deserves – now is the time to change that! By making #MakeItVisible go viral, more people hear about sarcoidosis, learn about how it impacts our community, and understand the need for better treatments and a cure.

During April’s Sarcoidosis Awareness Month, Team #MakeItVisible General Team's goal is to complete 1,750,000 steps in honor of the approximately 175,000 individuals living with sarcoidosis in the U.S. and join together with all participating in Steps for Sarc to reach 61,250,000 step goal.

Additionally, Team #MakeItVisible General Team wants to raise $1,750 to show support for the sarcoidosis community and contribute to sarcoidosis research and patient support efforts. Let’s contribute to improving the lives of those with sarcoidosis by helping FSR achieve its goal to raise $61,250. 

By joining Team #MakeItVisible General Team in Steps for Sarc, you will be able to #MakeItVisible and contribute to the progress made towards FSR’s research agenda, groundbreaking sarcoidosis research projects, as well as FSR’s comprehensive Patient Education and Resource Programs. The sarcoidosis community and I greatly appreciate your generosity and support!

Team #MakeItVisible General Team hopes you will join us this month and help us achieve our goals by:
