Our Organization

About Stop Scurvy

Founded after a volunteer accidentally spent three consecutive days eating only gas station hot dogs.

Our Mission

To ensure that humanity never again returns to the dark ages of pirate dentistry, suspiciously loose teeth, and the tragic misunderstanding that ketchup counts as a vegetable.

  • Access to lemons.
  • Responsible orange ownership.
  • Maritime nutritional education.
  • The constitutional right to enjoy a glass of orange juice without judgment.

A Note From Our Founder

"Hi, I'm Karen. Two years ago, my son came home from college for winter break. He looked off. Tired. Quiet. His gums were a little red. At first I thought it was just burnout. Then I started researching."

"What I discovered shocked me. Scurvy isn't gone. It's just moved from ships to basements. That's why I started Stop Scurvy. Not because I'm dramatic — but because someone needed to speak up."

P.S. He's doing much better now. He even ate a clementine last month.
