Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my Lupus fundraising page!

The Miserandino Family has been walking for 13 years in the walk along for Lupus on Long Island. 3 years ago we were happy to add my husband's family (The Donato's) to our efforts. Last year my team raised close to $10,000... we want to beat that this year and make this our best year yet! This year we were honored at the Lupus Gala for our volunteer work with this wonderful organization.

I can not thank all of you enough for supporting me and my passion to raise funds and awareness for this disease. I have amazing friends, family, and butyoudontlooksick.com buddies who always are there for me. I am so blessed. I have a wonderful husband, and a angel baby daughter Olivia. I thank the Lupus Alliance for all their support throughout the years, but especially with my pregnancy last year. The work of the Lupus Alliance is so important.  I am so grateful to them, and this is my way of "giving back".

Please donate what you can, no donation is too small..(or too large :) Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. If you can not donate- please help by passing this email/ link along to anyone you think may be interested.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too! They can donate on this page, or make their own page and join our team! The More the Merrier!

Thank you,

With Love,

Christine, Frank and Olivia Emma Donato
