DESCRIPTION:

Observed in the United Kingdom by wearing gloves for the day, the mission of the Raynaud's Awareness Month is to provide educational and emotional support for people with Raynaud's, their families and to raise funds to find a cure.

Sometime during the late 1850s, a 27-year-old French woman noticed that the fingers of both hands had become pale and cold. Over the next few weeks, the tips of some of her fingers shriveled and turned black, causing her great pain and discomfort. The doctor who attended her was an equally young man, Maurice Raynaud. He noted the condition and began to study it.

Raynaud's disease is akin to veins strangling the blood supply to extremities and asphyxiating hands, feet, toes, and fingers. The lack of blood causes the extremities to die. Inevitably, the condition came to be known as Raynaud's Disease or simply Raynaud's. Dr. Raynaud died at the age of 47 in 1881, but his work identifying the disease and looking for a cure continues.
