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.
Welcome, my name is Magheen Joseph- most know me as Mags. I was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis in 2017. It hasn’t been an easy road but I am remain strong and I will continue to fight. Ending of 2023, I started dialysis- I was able to come off it but I had a another flare which caused me to be back on dialysis. I am a fighter, even on my bad days- I have a smile on my face. I have an amazing support team which makes things a bit easier. I have always wanted to join the walk for Lupus- so this year i decided to join and create a team. So I am asking you to come out and join me- if you can’t , please make a donation towards helping find a cure for Lupus. I hope to see you there.
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.
Did you know?
Lupus is a mysterious and misunderstood autoimmune disease. It strikes without warning, affects each person differently, and has no known causes or cure.
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.
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 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 generosity!
