6 Miles to Help End Lupus!
Join me and support the mission of the Lupus Foundation of America! My goal is to run all 6 miles and raise critical funds for the estimated 1.5 million people living with lupus in the United States. Your donation will help me reach my personal fundraising goal and support the Foundation's efforts to improve the quality of life for all people affected by lupus! If we double our goal of $250, I will double my run, and run 12 miles. If we we raise $1,500 I will run 6 miles, 6 days in a row ($250 / per day)!
About My Journey:
This year has brought significant changes for our family as my wife, Abby, (Benny and Remy's mom) was diagnosed with Lupus. Adjusting to our new normal and navigating through the diagnosis process has been a journey of learning and resilience. Inspired by Abby's strength, I am determined to make a difference. I will run all 6 miles on June 22nd to raise awareness and funds for this challenging condition. Your support means everything to us!

- Lupus can affect any part of the body, including skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, and brain, causing a wide range of symptoms.
- Lupus symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and organ damage.
