My mother is the most hard working and resilient woman I know! She was recently diagnosed with Lupus. Lupus has no known cause or cure. It has severe and highly unpredictable symptoms and can damage any organ or tissue, from the skin or joints to the heart or kidneys. She supports me every day through this debilitating autoimmune disease and is my biggest cheerleader. It feels only right to support her the most I can.
I am joining thousands of people across the country for the Walk to End Lupus Now®. I have also started training for the Lupus Loop 5k. I hope that you will join me either by lacing up your sneakers or by donating to my fundraising page.Every single dollar counts!
While lupus can strike anyone at any time, 90% of people living with lupus are women like my mom. Help support Irene and the other women affected by this disease!
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!
