Imagine a day when doctors can say, “There is a cure for Lupus.”
In honor of my dear friend Jervonya Jones, I have a personal goal to raise $2000 for Lupus research. I’m taking action in the fight against this disease. This year will make 7 years since this disease has taken the life of my beautiful sister, and we must fight to find a cure.
Will you make a donation 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? Please help in any way you can. Every dollar counts! Oh! And 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. Trust me, it’s worth the effort!
Together, we can solve the cruel mystery of lupus. Thank you for your generosity!
We're Fighting for You Vonya!
Join me and Team JMJ as we participate in Lupus Foundation of America’s Walk to End Lupus Now™ in San Francisco on October 21, 2018, to raise critical funds for the estimated 1.5 million people living with lupus in the United States.

- 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.
