Why I run/walk....

 
The run may be complete, but there is still a race to raise more funds to help Lupus International continue their patient programs, contributions to research and to assist college students.  Please help us meet the demand for our services by giving today. As you read each story, think about the realness of each--they are patients, families and children affected by lupus.  
 
Each person has a unique story as to why they run, walk and/or create a fundraising team.  For most, it is because they know someone with lupus and understand the complexities of this incurable disease. Sadly, some participate because they have lost a loved one to lupus or related conditions.  
 
If you are wondering why this walk or why this cause...read the pages to follow and we are sure you will be touched by the stories that follow. They are all real, not dramatized, and all show an immediate need to raise the funds needed to make their dreams come true--a lupus free tomorrow. 
 
Your support will be a victory in race to find a cure, new treatments and provide supportive and educational services.
