Hi guys! Thank you for checking out my page... Lupus has affected my life in so many ways and, as someone who has lost someone to Lupus and now has Lupus, I feel very passionate about raising awareness and striving to find a cure. This year, I am going to spend more time doing things that I feel are meaningful and will have an impact on others around me, like this walk in NYC on October 5th… and it would be awesome if you could join me and this team! Our name, Team YOLT, comes from something I've been saying for yeeeears, since Lupus tried to take me out… (It is a good story and I don't mind sharing if you are curious!) Anyway, I came out of my experience with an appreciation for life and a YOLO attitude, but “you only live once” didn't really apply to me anymore so I would add “unless you're me, then YOLT!” Everyone around me says it now and it's really just a reminder that life can be fleeting and wonderful and should be lived while we have the chance. So YOLT! Come to NYC, raise a little money for an important cause and then we can spend the rest of the day together living it up in the city! Love you guys and thank you for everything -Melissa
