NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders to be Scleroderma Sprint Featured Speaker

“Barry lost his sister, Nancy, at an early age to this devastating disease. ”

LAS VEGAS, JULY 27, 2022– Scleroderma Sprint is excited to announce NFL Hall of Famer Barry Sanders as the featured speaker of their event in Las Vegas on October 6, 2022 at the all new Caesars Forum Conference Center. The event will benefit the Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center and bring awareness to undiagnosed patients throughout Clark County and Nevada.

Barry lost his sister, Nancy, at an early age to this devastating disease. Barry says, "The toughest person I've ever known wasn't Daddy, and it wasn't Lawrence Taylor, Howie Long, or John Lynch. The toughest person I've ever known is my sister Nancy, and the toughest thing I've ever had to endure was watching her fight a slow death.”

"Every day, a Scleroderma patient has a new challenge that can be scary, painful, and depressing." Event Chairperson Saville Kellner says, "But seeing Barry's dedication and passion for fighting this disease brings encouragement to so many. We are so grateful for his compassionate fight to help raise money and awareness for Scleroderma."

Scleroderma Sprint's October 6 event will feature "Tailgate at the Track" during the day at SpeedVegas with an exclusive celebrity supercar racing session, live music, Vegas' hottest food trucks, go-kart racing, and supercar ride-along experiences. Hosted by actor and comedian Bill Bellamy, the evening gala will feature a cuisine curated by celebrity chefs and six performances by Spiegelworld, Las Vegas's premier entertainment company that owns the Absinthe, Opium, and Atomic Saloon shows.
