Itching for a Cure Walk

The first ever walk for eczema, the National Eczema Association’s Itching for a Cure 5K, took place on April 28, 2012 in Asheville, North Carolina, and was a tremendous success!  

More than 250 walkers of all ages participated on the beautiful University of North Carolina-Asheville campus. WLOS TV Anchor Tammy Watford was the emcee and did a live broadcast from the event. Mix 96.5 WOXL Radio Morning Show Hosts Tammy & Strickland kept the tunes and the crowd going and also had live broadcasts from the event.

The National Eczema Association is grateful for the efforts of Itching for a Cure

Itching for a Cure

I am itching for a cure—a cure for eczema. I know that most readers will know that eczema is a rough, red patch of itchy skin, but do you know that eczema can cover your whole body? Do you know that tiny babies who have eczema sometimes scratch until they bleed? Do you know that many adults get eczema on their hands, causing cracking and soreness that can be debilitating? Most surprisingly, do you know that eczema can lead to feelings of sadness, frustration, and isolation?
