Welcome to our 2024 Virtual and In-Person 5k Team IYC fundraiser!
As a trainer I’m so proud when I see how hard my clients with Lupus work through their exhaustion and pain to keep healthy and in shape. I know when my muscles are sore theirs must be twice as sore! I dream of a day when there is a cure for my family and friends and I Imagine a day when doctors can say, "There is a cure for Lupus." Until that day comes, there is work to be done and IYC wants to help. Join us for the Lupus Foundation of America's Walk to End Lupus Now® to raise critical funds for the estimated 1.5 million people living with Lupus in the United States.
Join our team and help us reach our fundraising goal!

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.
· Only one drug has ever been developed and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration specifically to treat the disease.
Together, we can raise money and awareness to help solve the cruel mystery of Lupus.
Join our team today to help support efforts!
