2024 Walk to End Lupus Now, Hartford

Karolann's Krew

Welcome to Team Karolann's Krew Fundraising Page!

We are walking for this girl! Karolann is a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, friend, wife and mother.

We all remember her first moments on earth. Since that special day, Karolann developed into a smart, playful, kind, compassionate and hard working person. While working as a full time CNA caring for others, she was silently suffering with extreme fatigue and pain. Karolann lived and coped with these symptoms for years and her doctors were unable to explain the root cause.

She finally received her diagnosis 5 years ago after the birth of her first child. The diagnosis was a relief to everyone but it hasn't changed the fact that she lives with these symptoms every day. Karolann's Krew is walking in her honor. We are walking for a cure for lupus!

Join us as we participate in the Lupus Foundation of America's Walk to End Lupus Now® to raise critical funds for the estimated 1.5 million people like Karolann living with lupus in the United States.

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. 

Together, we can solve the cruel mystery of lupus. Join Team Karolann's Krew today and support our efforts!
