“We walk to end lupus for my little sister—because no one should have to fight so hard. We walk for her strength, her smile, and the hope that one day, no family has to face this disease again. ?”

“I walk to end lupus because I know that one day Lupus be a thing of the past. I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2018. Lupus since has attacked my lungs. I am in need of a lung transplant. I’m remaining hopeful and thankful for life each and everyday. I’m also thankful for my mom and two sons for supporting me through this journey.”

“I’ve worked in clinical research for many years and have seen the impact clinical trials and drug development can make for any disease from cancer to migraines. I walk to bring awareness and hopefully find a cure.”
