Our Walk to End Lupus in Lawton, Oklahoma will take place on October 21, 2023.
My connection to Lupus is my husband, Alec. My husband is a Lupus warrior and continues his fight everyday. Since 2019 my husband has spent most of his time with doctors, experimenting with several different chemo and immunosuppressive therapies. There is no cure for Lupus and the disease affects each person differently, increasing the difficulty of finding a treatment that works for each person. We will continue our fight against Lupus and work to find a treatment that works. This walk is to raise awareness for Lupus and raise money for research. I can be there for my husband, but unfortunately I cannot make him better. So I will try my hardest to raise money for research to save his life and the life of every other Lupus warrior out there.
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. What’s more, 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! Every single dollar counts.
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!
