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.

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 $55 can make a definite impact. Additionally, if your employer offers a Matching Gift Program to employees, you may be able to double your contribution with just a little bit of paperwork. 

Did you know?

Lupus is a misunderstood 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.

Lupus is hard to diagnose, and the cost incurred by individuals can be just as draining as the disease itself. Lupus costs my family thousands of dollars per year, immeasurable hours at doctor's appointment and countless days of pain and frustration. The Lupus Foundation is working hard to make people like me beat this monster of a disease and live more comfortably. 

 Thank you for your generosity!
