WINDHAM, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Sue Zemla always thought she had asthma. After All, she was chasing after kids at her daycare. But when her father and daughter came down with illnesses, grief made it more unbearable to breathe.

Soon she was diagnosed with both types of the autoimmune disease -- localised and systemic Scleroderma. Zelma had to quit her job and be on full-time oygen support.

Her friends and family have formed the "Sue Crew," planning fundraising events for Zelma. More information can be found at the Sunshine for Sue facebook page.
