It's that time of year, I am fundraising for SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) once again ya'll! This time I chose to take on an even bigger challenge and run in the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon on September 6.  I will train from now until then in preparation to run 13.1 miles along beautiful Virginia Beach, each step of the race in lieu of the millions of lives affected by SLE.

Since I was diagnosed last March I have been very fortunate, only having to take two pills daily, being pain free for quite some time now, and as far as lab work and symptoms go I think it’s safe to say I am in remission! I could not have gotten through this last year without the many prayers and support. I am truly blessed to have the family and friends that I do 

As I continue to beat Lupus each and every day I am committed to raising Lupus Awareness. There is still no known cause or cure for this mysterious disease and there has not been any medical advancement in 50 years. This is why I chose to run for Lupus. All money raised will go directly to the Lupus Foundation of America in hopes that a cure can one day be found!

Any amount will make a difference in the millions of women's lives that are affected by Lupus every single day, including mine.

I’d like to thank everyone for your past donation that is continuing to support Lupus research and the continued love, support and prayers that you have all offered to me and my family!
