Butterfly Effect (Marriam Webster dictionary): a property of chaotic systems (such as the atmosphere) by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system.

2023 #WalktoEndLupusNow Event in #Baltimore  Last September, Team Butterfly Effect raised a total of $1950! 

Please join me in raising awareness and funds to help millions of people living with Lupus. It is a very complex and misunderstood disease. I NEED YOU! I am living with Lupus too. While lupus can strike anyone at any time, 90% of people living with lupus are women. Women of color are at especially high risk. Lupus symptoms can be severe and highly unpredictable and can damage any organ or tissue, from the skin or joints to the heart or kidneys. It affects each person differently, and has no known causes or cure.

The Lupus Foundation of America is the only national force devoted to solving the mystery of lupus, one of the world’s cruelest, most unpredictable, and devastating diseases, while giving caring support to those who suffer from its brutal impact. We envision a life free of lupus. Walk to End Lupus Now is the national signature grassroots event of the Lupus Foundation. In more than 60 cities across America, thousands of people walk to make a difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating disease.

If you cannot donate, please consider joining us on SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 for the 2023 Walk to End Lupus Now!

I am joining thousands of people across the country for the Walk to End Lupus Now! I hope that you will join me either by lacing up your sneakers or by donating to my fundraising page.

You can make a difference by donating to 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! A generous contribution of $25 or $55 can make a definite impact. What's more, if your employer offers a Matching Gift Program to employees, you may be able to double your contribution with just a little bit of paperwork. Trust me, it's worth the effort! Every single dollar counts.

Lupus is hard to diagnose, but the Lupus Foundation of America is working to make life easier and more comfortable for the estimated 1.5 million people living with lupus in the United States.  Together, we can solve the cruel mystery of lupus. Thank you for your time and generosity!
