I am joining thousands of people across the country for the Walk to End Lupus Now® on Sunday, May19th in Ocean City, NJ. I hope that you will join me either by putting on purple, 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 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.

Donations can also be made by credit card through this page, via Cashapp- $keepitmovin49 or by mailing checks to: Lupus Foundation of America, 411 Swedeland RD, Suite 23-1080, King of Prussia, PA, 19406-Memo Line: (Keep It Movin')

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. I have come a long way from being paralyzed and told that I would not walk again, but there's still a lot of work to do!

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. As always, thank you for your generosity and continuous support! I'm determined to help find a cure for lupus, so in spite of any challenges that I face, I Keep It Movin'.
