I’m joining the Lupus Loop and Walk to End Lupus Now at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on Saturday, November 9, 2024, Please support me for the Walk to End Lupus Now by making a 100% tax deductible donation! Click "Donate Now" on this page. Thank you!
I am walking for my mother-in-law, Carol who has been struggling with Lupus almost Hope's entire life.
In case you didn’t know, Lupus is a disease of flares and remissions, which makes life with Lupus very unpredictable. It is a life-threatening, life-diminishing disease with NO Cure! Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when your body's immune system attacks your own tissues and organs. Inflammation caused by lupus can affect many different body systems — including your joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs.
Usually over time you develop other diseases, which has been the case for my mother-in-law, Carol.
Please consider walking with us or donating to help improve the quality of life for Carol and everyone else affected by Lupus through programs of research, education, support, and advocacy.
