Lupus walk
Hey everyone!! I just want to let everyone know that I will be walking for Lupus on June 8th, 2008. My sister was diagnosed with Lupus about 3 years ago. My sister and many other struggle with this disease EVERYDAY! This will be the FIRST year I am doing the Lupus walk (I have done the breast cancer and Autism walk two years in a row) so I am very excited to be a part of this great cause. Here is the E-mail I am sending out to all my friends and family.
If you would like to walk with us or support the cause, please click the links below. If not, some moral support would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thank you ladies!!
'Be the change you want to see in the World.'
Any questions, please feel free to FM me!!
I recently registered for the 2008 Long Island Walk with Us to Cure Lupus Walkathon, which will be held on June 8th. 100% of the contributions to this event will fund lupus research, because the Alliance for Lupus Research's board pays all operating expenses for the walk.
Your generous support will help me reach my own fundraising goal, and is essential to the ALR's research program. More information on the Alliance for Lupus Research can be found at http://www.lupusresearch.org
It is faster and easier than ever to give your support; you can donate online by simply clicking on the link at the bottom of this message. Immediately after making your gift, you will receive an email with tax receipt information.
Facts About Lupus
Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease in which a person's immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissue.
Lupus can cause life-threatening damage to major organs such as the kidneys, lungs, heart and central nervous system.
Lupus is the leading cause of death among women with autoimmune diseases who are in their childbearing years (ages 15-45).
Women are five times more likely to die from lupus than men, and African Americans are three times more likely to die from lupus than caucasians.
Between 1979 and 1998 there was an approximate 70% increase in lupus deaths among middle-aged African American women.
