On Saturday, October 15, the National Psoriasis Foundation is hosting its annual Walk to Cure Psoriasis in Boston at Castle Island Park, Pleasure Bay (100 William T Morrissey Boulevard). The event aims to raise funds for the Foundation’s research, education and advocacy programs.

An estimated 113,000 people in the Boston area live with psoriasis. Psoriasis, a noncontagious, chronic disease of the immune system, appears on the skin causing red, scaly patches. These patches, often painful and itchy, can appear on any part of the body.

Additionally, up to 30 percent of people with psoriasis develop psoriatic arthritis. People with psoriasis are at risk of developing other serious conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and depression.
