Why is this campaign important to you?
I lost my older sister to LUPUS in 2001. I remember the exact time of the onset of her symptoms of fatigue, that attacked her and left her bed-ridden for an entire weekend when I was still in high school in 1983. I have been always willing to make a stance to support the cause in her memory. I've donated to the organization before, but this will be my very first walk for the cause. VERY EXCITED.
It's good people like you make a difference ...Thank you
