HI LEMONADEMAKER!!

The pandemic and call for social justice, has reminded me we have all been summoned to be LemonadeMakers. I didn’t get here by myself. It’s because of supporters like you; investing in my wellbeing, while keeping lupus a priority and fighting Covid.

We as a lupus community have strengthened our resolve, particularly since this disease disproportionately affects women of color. In this September’s Women’s Health Magazine, I shared my own personal story of my road to diagnosis as a black woman. I recently celebrated my 11year milestone of living with lupus, many doctors said it wasn't likely provided the uncertainty of my diagnosis. God declared otherwise! I’ve been fortunate to partner on research initiatives that elevate the patient cause and help shine a light in the darkness this year. 

I realize many of us have been challenged and impacted by the pandemic and call for social justice. This year, our fight looks a bit different, but we can reach an even larger audience…with you. Lend your voice by taking part in on 10.10.20 for a unique experience and help us keep us serving and protecting people with lupus. We’re taking Walk to End Lupus Now virtual this year. Will you help me?
Please join me and my team The Lemonade Makers, as we take part in our Walk to End Lupus Now®. You can help us continue to ensure that millions of families impacted by lupus have the support and resources they need. Because we’re virtual, you can even join one the top walk teams..how cool is that!? No donation is too small! I can’t say thank you for planting so many seeds over the years, God has not forgotten.

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 solve the cruel mystery of lupus. Please join our virtual team today and help support our efforts! 

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!
