I'm Racing to End Lupus!

Hey all! I recently signed up for the Greater St. Louis Half Marathon at the end of April! I’m historically not much of a runner, so I figured this would be a healthy challenge for me.

I’m also taking this as an opportunity to fundraise for the Lupus Foundation of America. My grandma was diagnosed with lupus last fall, and she passed away on Christmas Eve after an incredibly difficult few months. Among many things, she taught me the importance of optimism and humor, especially when facing something difficult or unknown.

Lupus is an unpredictable and poorly understood autoimmune disease that can affect any organ system, significantly impacting health and quality of life. Please consider making a donation to help fund research and support those diagnosed with this disease.
