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 for the Walk in Washington, DC.
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 $50 can make a big impact. Every single dollar counts!
Did you know?
Lupus is a mysterious and misunderstood autoimmune disease. It 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. Anyone can have lupus, but 90% of people living with it are women.
Lupus is hard to diagnose and live with, and it can be fatal, but the Lupus Foundation of America is working hard every day to advance research, drug development and provide helpful programs and services 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!
