Thank you for taking a minute to read my page. My name is Norma, friends call me Neema, and the name of my group is Living Lupi. Many years ago I was diagnosed with Lupus. I have had good days and some not that good but I'm still standing and I'm ready to get another many more years of Living Lupi.
In 2017, I became very sick and after I recovered decided to do my first Lupus walk. The year was 2018 and you helped me to do the Walk to End Lupus in Delaware. Since 2022 I've been walking in Miami. This year on October 19 2024, I will be walking again with my team in Miami, Florida. 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 $10, $25 or $50 can make a definite impact. Trust me, every single dollar counts. Once you make your donation send me an email to livinglupi@gmail.com with your mailing address and you will received, as a thank you gift, an original watercolor painting. Thank you very much!
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.
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!
