TheCelebrityCafe.com is Walking to Raise Funds for Lupus

Thank you for visiting our Lupus Walk fundraising page!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support our fundraising efforts. The money will help fund research and promote awareness of the disease.

TheCelebrityCafe’s decision to raise money for Lupus was inspired by a personal connection. One of our family members has been living with the disease since the age of sixteen.

What is Lupus? Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that is hard to diagnose, difficult to manage and if not treated, can become life threatening. It disrupts the immune system’s ability to protect the body against viruses, bacteria and foreign substances. Lupus’ short circuiting of the immune system’s identification process causes it to create antibodies against its own cells and tissues. There is no cure for lupus; it affects both sexes and can strike at any age. Lupus affects adult women 10 times more frequently than men and is more prevalent than sickle cell anemia, cerebral palsy and cystic fibrosis, yet it is the least known of all major illnesses.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Thank you,

Dominick
